I quite enjoy reading posts in the "what does my cat look like" section. It's amazing how much some people know about coat color and body shapes!
I kinda learned what colors are dominant and that the gene for long hair is recessive (that was a surprise ), I'm now wondering about the body shape.
For example, if you cross a BSH and a moggie, would the kittens be chubby like the BSH or slender? And what about the face shape, would they have flat faces? And would the coat be all plushie and dense or is that a recessive trait as well?
Don't get me wrong, I'm not interested in breeding cats, just curious how those genes work
