Traits

Albinism is a rare, recessive gene that causes a cat to have no pigment. This gives them a white pelt, pink skin, and blue or red eyes. This hides all markings, similar to Dominant White. It only presents if a cat has two copies of the gene (cc).

This is a recessive gene, so a cat with (Cc) would be only a carrier of the gene. Colorpoint is dominant over Albino, so if a cat has a single copy of both genes, it will present as Colorpoint.

Examples:

• CC: No change
  
• Cc: Carries Albino
• cc: Albino
• cpc: Colorpoint carrying Albino
