Although originally from Texas, she has lived in California for the last 15 years. Currently she is the Dean of Sciences and Math at a small college in northern California. She is married to Jeff Roberts, also an All Breeds judge in TICA. The name of their cattery “PuraVida” reflects their love for paradise in Costa Rica. Heather breeds Singapuras and European Burmese and finds the incredible intelligence of the Singapura and the laidback personality of the European Burmese to be a nice balance in her life. Their breeding program focuses on healthy cats with loving temperaments foremost. She has also shown Bengal, Cymric, Siberian, Maine Coon, Somali, Bombay, and companion cats. She has had the extreme pleasure of judging in Australia and New Zealand several times over recent years. She enjoys the countryside, the new friendships, and of course the fabulous quality of the cats. She has imported cats from Australia and New Zealand for use in her own breeding program, and has exported cats back to Australia in an effort to truly internationalize some gene pools. She hopes to someday import a lovely Burmilla for her and Jeff to enjoy and promote in TICA.

  • Tyrosinase Mutations Associated with Siamese and Burmese Patterns in the Domestic Cat (Felis Catus)
    doi:10.1111/j.1365-2052.2005.01253.x Tyrosinase mutations associated with Siamese and Burmese patterns in the domestic cat (Felis catus) L. A. Lyons, D. L. Imes, H. C. Rah and R. A. Grahn Department of Population Health and Reproduction, School of Veterinary Medicine, University of California, Davis, Davis, CA, USA Summary The Siamese cat has a highly recognized coat colour phenotype that expresses pigment at the extremities of the body, such as the ears, tail and paws. This temperature-sensitive colouration causes a ÔmaskÕ on the face and the phenotype is commonly referred to as ÔpointedÕ. Burmese is an allelic variant that is less temperature-sensitive, producing more pigment throughout the torso than Siamese. Tyrosinase (TYR) mutations have been sus- pected to cause these phenotypes because mutations in TYR are associated with similar phenotypes in other species. Linkage and synteny mapping in the cat has indirectly sup- ported TYR as the causative gene for these feline phenotypes. TYR mutations associated with Siamese and Burmese phenotypes are described herein. Over 200 cats were analysed, representing 12 breeds as well as randomly bred cats. The SNP associated with the Siamese phenotype is an exon 2 G > A transition changing glycine to arginine (G302R). The SNP associated with the Burmese phenotype is an exon 1 G > T transversion changing glycine to tryptophan (G227W). The G302R mutation segregated concordantly within a pedigree of Himalayan (pointed) Persians. All cats that had ÔpointedÕ or the Burmese coat colour phenotype were homozygous for the corresponding mutations, respectively, suggesting that these phenotypes are a result of the identified mutations or unidentified mutations that are in linkage disequilibrium.

  • Dilute Coat Colour
    Dilute Coat Colour About the Colour A mutation in the Dilute gene (Melanophilin, MLPH) causes dilution of coat colours. The wild-type (D) allele is dominant to the dilute (d) allele, meaning that two copies of the dilute (d) allele are required to produce the dilute colouration. The Dilute coat colour test can be used to detect carriers of, or to confirm, the following diluted coat colour phenotypes: Black, which is diluted Blue Chocolate, which is diluted Lilac Cinnamon, which is diluted to Fawn Red, which is diluted Cream Certain cat breeds only have the D allele (Bombay, Egyptian Mau and Singapura) or the d allele (Chartreux, Korat and Russian Blue), but most breeds have both alleles. Interpretation of results Test Result Interpretation Has two copies of the Dilute allele (d/d) Coat colour is diluted as follows: Black is diluted to Blue Dilute (d/d) Chocolate is diluted to Lilac Cinnamon is diluted to Fawn Red is diluted to Cream Has one copy of the Dilute allele (D/d). Carrier of Dilute (D/d) No dilution of coat colour. Has no copies of the Dilute allele (D/D). Does not carry Dilute (D/D) No dilution of coat colour. Dilute Coat Colour FAQs How do I test for lilac in my Ragdolls? Lilac is the result of the Dilute gene working on the Chocolate gene. The results must be Chocolate (b/b) and Dilute (d/d) for the Ragdoll to be Lilac. How do I test for Lilac in my British Shorthair? Lilac is the result of the Dilute gene working on the Chocolate or Chocolate and Cinnamon genes.

  • Zoonotic Alert –
    ZOONOTIC ALERT – What is zoonosis and why should you care? Zoonosis refers to a parasite, bacteria, or virus (such as rabies), that can be passed directly from animals to humans. Members of your family can unknowingly pick up a zoonotic disease at the park, playground, or even in your own backyard. Children are especially vulnerable to zoonotic diseases because they play outside and are more likely to put contaminated objects into their mouths. The most common zoonotic parasites are roundworms and hookworms. The Center for Disease Control (CDC) reports that almost 14% of the U.S. population is infected with roundworms. The staff of Ellington Center Animal Clinic takes parasite infections and zoonotic disease transmission very seriously. We STRONGLY recommend annual parasite testing for your pet and a year-round monthly prevention program. Even indoor cats are exposed to parasites if you have other pets that go outside. Fleas may “hitch a ride” on your shoes or pant legs and jump onto your indoor cat. It is estimated that 15% of commercially available potting soil is contaminated with roundworm eggs. Even indoor cats can hunt mice. Mosquitos frequently enter our homes. In multi-cat homes, when it is difficult to identify which fecal specimen belongs to which cat, we recommend testing a stool specimen every year and if parasites are found, deworming all cats in the household. FECAL TESTING = INTESTINAL PARASITE SCREEN The fecal sample you brought today will be analyzed at the A pre-paid fecal collection vial will be added to today’s laboratory. You will receive a telephone call with results in invoice.

She's full of personality, and you love her for it! She is affectionate and easygoing, an excellent companion for the whole family. Ragdolls were developed in the 1960’s by a breeder in California, who sought after cats with a specific look and docile temperament to create the breed. Their soft, medium length coat comes in six colors: seal, blue, chocolate, lilac, red, and cream. Mild-mannered and friendly, Ragdolls get along well with children and other pets. Ragdolls are one of the largest cat breeds and tend to spend most of their time on the floor, instead of in high places. PET MEDICAL CENTER 501 E.

  • The Genetic Uniqueness of Birmans and How They Got Their Gloves!
    Everything you need to know about Genetics… You can learn from your Cat! BY DR. LESLIE LYONS Ph.D PART THREE THE GENETIC UNIQUENESS OF BIRMANS AND HOW THEY GOT THEIR GLOVES! The Birman, also called ‘The Sacred Cat of Burma,’ is said to have origins from College Burma, the current day Republic of the Union of Myanmar. Although Burma was a of British colony during much of the 1800’s up to post- World War II, which is during Veterinary the time in which many cat breeds were developed, the term “Birman” is derived Medicine, from the French word for Burma – “Birmanie”¹. University GENETIC &/OR DEVELOPMENTAL ORIGINS of Several genetic studies have indicated cats from the Birman breed, consistently, Missouri genetically cluster with cats from Southeast Asia, including, Siamese, Korats, Burmese and random bred cats from the region (Figure 1)2-4. The Birman breed history suggests their development was prominent in France with cross – breeding to Persians to obtain the long hair, particularly after the World Wars, which decimated the breed in Europe. However the genetic crosses were accomplished, the Birman has retained an overall genetic signature from Southeast Asia (Figure 1). Some breeds, with obvious Southeast Asian traits liked the bobbed tail, specifically the Japanese Bobtail, have not retained their genetic Southeast Asian origins2-5. COAT LENGTH For Birmans, the Siamese points, are clearly a Southeast Asia trait, however, Birmans have the same genetic variant for longhair in the gene fibroblast growth factor 5 (FGF5) as Persians, the c.475A>C variant, which is the oldest and most common variant for longhair in all cat breeds6,7.
