The Genetics of Shaded Silver American Shorthairs Genetics of the shaded American Shorthair There had been much controversy concerning the genetics of unpatterned tabbies in the American Shorthair (ASH) breed. In Figures 1a and 1b, are two female kittens about 4 months old. These half-sisters were born 2 weeks apart. Neither is the outcross of another breed. The sire of both kittens is a purebred shaded silver male: GC, GP Melodygarden Stargazer. The dam of the kitten in Figure 1a was a shaded cameo female (CH, PR Melodygarden Tidy Tips) and this is a kitten picture of GC Melodygarden Northern Lights, CFA's first grand champion shaded tortoiseshell ASH. The dam of the kitten in Figure 1b is CH Solmer Ophelia of Stedam, a gold-eyed white masking brown-patched tabby. This kitten was registered as a silver ticked tabby in 1996 before CFA declared that no ASH ticked tabbies were registerable in the breed. Kittens of this coloration naturally arise when a clear shaded cat, regardless of lineage or color is crossed with a classic tabby or a solid masking classic tabby.
