Traits
Rex (Basic)
Category: Pelt
The Rex gene represents curly fur of any kind found in real life (i.e. Cornish, Selkirk, Devon). The length of the curl is still dependent on the Fur Length gene. Typically also causes the cat's whiskers to be curly. This is a recessive trait, so a cat with (Rere) would be only a carrier of the gene. Only presents with both genes (rere).
Rex has a unique interaction with the Hairless gene. Rex is more common than the Hairless gene, but if both genes are present, the cat will appear Hairless and will be a carrier. A cat with Rex and Hairless is allowed a larger variation in baldness, but must be at least 50% bald.
Examples:
- ReRe: Normal fur
- rere: Rex fur.
- Rere: Normal fur, carrying Rex gene.
- rehr: Hairless, carrying the Rex gene.
