Traits

Also known as: Silver, Smoke

Inhibitor (InIn/Inin) is a dominant gene that affects the Wideband gene. The Inhibitor gene causes Wideband Tabby cats to be Silver instead of gold, with stripes presenting as normal and tinted as appropriate for their base color.

Additionally, Inhibitor has a unique interaction with Solid cats, with or without Wideband. Solid Inhibitor cats present as Smoke, a lighter gradient appearing throughout the fur due to having lighter strands with dark tips.
