A, B, C, D, E - Cat vs Rabbit

My comparative cat and rabbit color genetics post

Wild type (black agouti) rabbit and cat

My color genetics interest started out with rabbits, and while I know much more about cats now, they'll always have a spot in my heart...

In this post I'll go through the most important color genes, although sometimes I'll make comparisons based on phenotypes too.

All the photos are from the Warren Photographic Image Library.

A. Agouti

Both species have the dominant agouti (A) and the recessive self or nonagouti (a) alleles.

Black self rabbit and cat

Beyond these, cats add the charcoal (Apb) from the leopard cat, while rabbits have the otter or tan allele (at).

B. Brown

Black (B) as wild type, chocolate (b) as variant for both, and an extra recessive allele for cats: cinnamon (bl).

C. Color restriction

The most dominant allele of the series is the full color (C) for both species.

In rabbits the next is dark chinchilla (cchd), this gives the chinchilla and related colorations. Phenotypically basically the equivalent of silver tabbies in cats, despite silver (I) being a different gene. Chinchilla doesn't show up meaningfully on solid rabbits, so there's no smoke there.

Silver tabby cat and chinchilla rabbit. These are genetically very different colors, but manifest similarly: the animal loses the yellow-red pigments, and keeps the black.

The next rabbit allele in order of dominance is the sable or light chinchilla (cchl) which can be interpreted as the equivalent of sepia/burmese (cb) in cats, although they probably aren't the same mutation, because like the dark chinchilla allele above, sable has "silvering" effect on agoutis. Their shared characteristics are the slightly darker extremities and the intermediate interaction with the point allele.

Sable rabbit and sepia (or possibly mink) cat

The colorpoint pattern is also present in both animals under the names siamese (cs) and himalayan (ch). It manifests as pale body with dark extremities.

Pointed cat and rabbit

Edit: unfortunately I made a mistake here: while the color of this rabbit is indeed called point, it's not himalayan, it's nonagouti+sable+red. A real black himalayan rabbit looks like this:

Note the red eyes of the rabbit and the blue eyes of the cat - both suggest depigmentation.

Cats have a rare extra allele called mocha (cm).

And lastly, albino (c) is also present in both.

D. Dilute

Pretty much the same both genetically and in look. Dense (D) is dominant, diluted (d) is recessive.

Diluted (blue self) rabbit and cat

E. Extension

The mutations of this gene can be grouped into two categories:

increase of function: overproduction of black pigments. The animal is dark, melanistic. Dominant alleles.

loss of function: underproduction of black pigments. The animal is yellow/red. Recessive alleles.

Rabbits have two dominant alleles in the first group: full extension or dominant black (Ed) and steel (Es); cats have none. (Although this group isn't absent from the cat family either: black jaguars for example have a dominant black mutation.)

In the second group we have lots of different alleles: harlequin or japanese brindle (ej) and red (e) for rabbits, and amber, russet and copal/serdolik for cats (but their red is a different gene!). These all give different reddish phenotypes.

Red rabbit and cat - same name, similar color, different genetics.

The orange gene of the cats is an entirely different matter, and it's just a funny coincidence that harlequin rabbits look so similar to tortie cats. Brindle in rabbits is its own allele, not just the phenotype of the heterozygotes, and it's not sex-linked. Buck rabbits can be harlequins just as easily as does.

Harlequin rabbit and tortoiseshell cat - similar look, different name, different genetics

To make everything even more complicated, the word "tortoiseshell" (or shortly "tort") is used in rabbit breeding too, but it means a completely different thing than in cats: a nonagouti red. I assume because a nonagouti red rabbit (just like to the genetically very similar nonagouti amber cat) is darker than the agouti counterpart, especially on the extremities.

Tortoiseshell rabbit and cat - same name, different look, different genetics: bunny is a recessive homozygote for not sex-linked red, kitten is a heterozygote for sex-linked red.

+1. White spotting

Rabbits have three different white spotting genes: blue-eyed white or viennese, english and dutch. The latter two are strongly linked, the crossing over is rare. It's suspected that all three patterns are caused by mutations on the KIT gene. KIT is also the gene where all the so far known cat white spotting alleles: dominant white, white spotting and white gloving were mapped to.

Black dutch rabbit and black bicolor cat. They are remarkably similar, aren't they?

Summary:

#cats #rabbits #cat genetics #rabbit genetics #now that i'm thinking about this sepia tabbies are quite pale too #ugh i love genetics

Kuro and Madara both seem like maine coons but Madara(and also Leo ) also give me calico vibes. Kuro also fits the norwegian forest cat.

Himeru is one of those freaky ass lanky oriental cats or a russian blue

Adonis is an egyptian mau or a siamese, Kaoru is an orange, Rei is a regular black cat but with weirdly shiny fur and Kouga is a cat who was raised by pitbulls and will not accept the reality that he’s not a pitbull

Keito is a regular european/domestic shorthair but with a weirdly green tint to it

I would say Mika is a khao manee due to the eyes but he is big eyed dark brown colored LaPerm( the specific image I have in mind is one of the pictures in The Cat Encyclopedia and I’m not even sure if it’s for that breed)

Tori is a munchkin

OK OKOK SO i actually already have breed hcs for everyone bc im so autistic abt cats i was gonna wait to talk abt them as i made the cat designs but progress is going really slow on those and now that someone is talking to me about it i cant make myself shut up . i agree with a lot of these !!! im just gonna go ahead and list all of my hcs though bc im insane (these are my somewhat realistic color hcs for what they would be if i didnt choose to make them all candy colored when i draw them lol)

(disclaimer: this is on appearance alone, not all these breeds and mutations are ethical, not all these colors actually appear in the breed stated or are combinations that dont exist, and some of these colors/breeds are extinct)

Sometimes I don't even know why I even bother..

Jason is right though, breed doesn't matter on bunnies... except that it means some of them may need more fur care than others... and also most pet rabbits are so mixed its impossible to tell what's even in then.

But people keep asking. And every single time someone's there to judge it by the color alone, no matter how obviously a lionhead it is... Sometimes they'll also call anything a rex if the fur doesn't' feel like sandpaper...all rabbits have soft fur... rex fur is just special... and about half the rabbits I see identified as rex rabbits are really just random normal-furred mixes.

Then lately I've had someone go the other way with the color id... not identifying the spotted bun as an English Spot as they usually do... but call it a holland lop because they have spots sometimes... as do most breeds.

That's like noticing your rabbit has four legs, and identifying it as a horse, because they too have four legs...

Color is the least effective way to identify a rabbit's breed. Especially spots because they're extremely common.

The Dutch is another breed I have issue with because there just so happens to be a different marking that sometimes resembles dutch a lot (vienna marked) but they're not actually related at all... and yet I see people claim a white and black rabbit is OBVIOUSLY dutch or part dutch... even if it has blue eyes, which is a trait vienna marked buns sometimes have and dutch rabbits do not. Sometimes spotted rabbits are called dutch too, which again not related.

As for the harlequin I have never seen a purebred harlequin my whole life... And I've been to rabbit-shows. What I have seen however are LOADS of dwarf rabbits with the harlequin (or Japanese) marking. I've even owned two of them. Both part lionhead, part lop, but they just so happen to have the Japanese marking. (And naturally I named one of them Harley Quinn...the other was named Kikki by her previous owner.)

Also guest starring my current bunnies Jason Todd the English spot Netherland dwarf and Frøya the Alaska Holland Lop.

#rabbit #usagi rants #ryuusagi comics #bunnies #Also please don't use this comic as a guide on how to hold bunnies :p #I would not recommend carrying two at once...#nor holding a baby in one hand like that second guy is doing

Are cat genes similar to rabbit genes? since they both have similar patterns?

Aside from the agouti gene, not really.

Inhibitor seems to work different, as I have a rabbit that would be a smoke in cat terms, but she's not silver in rabbit terms. She's just... Normal in rabbit terms lmao. A silver rabbit (progressive loss of pigment on the hair shaft) is WAY different than a silver cat (no pigment in the hair root since birth)

Red also works different, as it's not sex linked. Harlequin (black/red) rabbits are very common, and it's a pattern to breed for in certain breeds (Rhinelander, Harlequin (US)/Japanese (EU), Dutch, Gotland, Magpie (but that's with more genes added), Holland Lops, etc.

The Longhair genes are also obviously different. In cats it's also polygenic, tho often shortened to L/l only. In rabbits the Longhair genes are all very different and all result in very different fur types (Angora = puffy, Swiss Fox = true Longhair, Lionhead = area restricted longhair) but they do both have rex.

What Pet I Think They'd Have and Why: Karasuno Edition

Daichi Sawamura

Of course he'd have a police dog

He's a cop and if he'd have any pet he'd have a buddy to help him bust criminals and fight crime

But I don't think Daichi would have a "normal" dog breed like a German Shepherd, Malinois, or Akita

I feel like Daichi would have a Rottweiler not bc they are my favorite dog breed

But Rottweilers used to be very prevalent in many police forces around the world until German Shepard and Malinois became more common

Also Rottweilers gained a harsh reputation for being aggressive bc they were trained by drug lords and criminals and were used to in fighting

Rottweilers are very muscular, sturdy, and hard working dogs

If trained right and with proper love and care these dogs are GREAT and I mean GREAT companions

They are stubborn and can be territorial with strangers, but, they are very loving towards familiars and family

They are a kind of one or two people fits them kind of dog

They also need constant stimulus as they were breed to be very hardworking dogs

Rottweilers used to pull sleds full of butchered meat bc they were so strong and the original breed was much bigger than the one we know today

They also herded large livestock through the alps and Roman region and are known to be fearless

They are also one of the oldest dog breeds

These dogs became popular Police dogs during the World Wars

Bc they were being used so much their guardian qualities were more showcased so more and more people wanted one to help keep and eye on their children

Since they are herding dogs they are good around children and can keep them in a yard if they are taught the parameters

Rottweilers despite their size generally don't bark a lot either, they are very sneaky when approaching a possible threat and will ppun e from behind

This is why I think Daichi would have one to be by his side

I feel like Daichi would do a lot of research into a good companion and finding a good breeder to find one after deciding

He'd get one as a puppy and personally see to it's training, working with a pro the whole time

His dog would also be a great family protector when he's home with his spouse and possible children, if he ends up having any

Koushi Sugawara

I feel like Koushi would be that really awesome teacher that has a really sweet and sociable pet that he brings in for the kids a lot

I feel Koushi would want soemthing small and cute so a rabbit of some sort would suit him well

Rabbits can be very loving with a small family most of the time or sometimes only one person

Rabbits are prey animals so some breeds wouldn't do well in a loud room full of young children

So what specific rabbit breed would suit his job?

So I chose the Harlequin Rabbit for Koushi

Harlequin rabbits are very social and loving towards owners and strangers alike

They also are known to be very silly, playful and very intelligent

They come in two colour types: Japanese and Magpie

The picture above is an example of Japanese while a Magpie can be colored in just about any other colour other than black nd orange like lilac, white, chocolate, blue and/or black

I feel like this specific type of rabbit would suit him so well as it would be comfortable around all those kids

Be very social and would be less likely to nip them

And it would be energetic enough to keep up with the kids

Koushi wouldn't just want a pet for his classroom though, he'd want a cuddle buddy for at home

He'd want a companion to sit on his lap while he works on lessons

He'd also want a pet that wasn't too lazy as his life would be pretty busy

The only thing is is that rabbits are high maintenance and need very specific foods, medicines, and an experienced vet to care for them

But rabbits are cuddly little crackheads that Koushi would adore

Energetic enough to keep up with his life, but snuggly and home bodied enough to not exhaust him

Asahi Azumane

Asahi is a fashion designer and thus would spend a lot of time hunched over a sketch book making designs

In other words, he has a very home based and indoor job

So he'd need a pet that isn't energetic and obnoxious like a husky or chihuahua

So I chose the Havanese

Havanese is the national dog of Cuba

This dog may be small but they are incredibly sturdy

These dogs become attached quickly and are extremely loyal to said lone owner

Something else that is good for Asahi is these dogs do not do good alone and are willing to follow their owners to the ends of the Earth

They can be described as velcro dogs bc of how attach to the hip with their owners they are

These dogs can be lively and active but they don't need much exercise as they are smaller

Most of their daily exercise can be met in a house with some light play

Also, these dogs are extremely friendly towards strangers and can be described as good host dogs

Another plus for Asahi about this breed is they aren't particularly vocal, most are rather quiet and reserved almost

The last thing you'd want is for people to look down on you for letting your pet act spoiled by barking and nipping at people's ankles

They also love to perform for others

They like attention and are good in groups

Asahi would have to meet with a lot of new people like models and companies and whatnot so a social dog would be best

Asahi also would spend a lot of time in an office or at home and since these dogs don't need much exercise he would be able to have it sleep on his lap while he works without disturbance

I also feel like Asahi would become a bit of a hermit

Like he would contact people but he wouldn't leave his house unless he absolutely had to or wanted to (which isn't often)

Havanese are home-bodied dogs and love just chillin' out on a warm lap or on a couch cushion beside their owners

Yū Nishinoya

Now I DO NOT think Noya should have a pet until he decides to settle down somewhere

Travel can really exhaust a person so it would harm an animal tenfold

So, if you travel a lot DO NOT GET A PET IT WILL ONLY HARM THEM

But if Yū were to have a pet.............................

Noya would need a pet that can travel well, is small enough to not cost a lot, is very attached to their owners, and can eat just about anything

I thought briefly of other rodents since rodents are generally small and can eat just about any food

But raccoons, possums, and other larger rodents that are more common for pets would be too hard to get on planes and boats since you need certification to own them

Rats on the other hand don't need such certifications in most countries and fill all the other requirements

The rat he would have isn't a Dumbo rat like in the picture above, he'd have like a wild rat that he befriended and decided to take with him so it'd most like be brown

Noya would 100% fight anyone who says they hate rats

He hypes up his pet rat to no end

He calls Asahi whenever he can and tells him about all the cool stuff his rat does and sends pictures of his rat being held up to a gorgeous background of famous landmarks in other countries

Nlya always has his rat around the back of his neck and wears a hoodie, scarf, or something like that to hide him so he can join Noya in places that don't allow pets

I also chose a rat bc they are incredibly loyal and I feel like if Noya were to be really tired on a plane and pass out, he would need a pet that he wouldn't have to worry about running away

Of course he has trained his rat to do amazing tricks, you already know

Also, as I previously mentioned, rats can eat just about anything, so his constant travel wouldn't hurt his companion diet

Rats are also quiet generally and aren't overly energetic so he wouldn't have to be worried about being escorted out for having a rat under his scarf

Chikara Ennoshita

Shibas are very independent dog, let's just start with that bc Chikara would need a pet that doesn't need constant attention

With him being a personal trainer he needs a pet that can self entertain

Something else about Shibas is they can often housebreak themselves bc of how fussy and finicky they are

You can also find them cleaning themselves much like a cat

Chikara would be busy for a good bit of his time so he doesn't really have time to properly spend time to housebreak a pet

But Shibas were originally bred to hunt and flush out game like birds and rabbits and other such small animals

A fact about Shibas is they almost went extinct during WWII bc of food shortages a distemper

Distemper is a disease only animals can be affected by that attacks many different systems in their bodies

Also, Shibas are the number one most common companion dog in Japan

Something else about Shibas is that they are fairly healthy, some of the more major problems they have are glaucoma, cataracts, hip dysplasia, entropion, and luxating patella

A lot of eye conditions but are easily avoided if you bring them in for very periodic eye checks and hip examinations

So these are easy to avoid as long you keep an eye on them

Over all I think that if Chikara were to have a pet it would need to be fairly self-sufficient but also something could have a very chill and laid back relationship with

Something that doesn't need to be on his lap all the time but something he can love and nurture

Kiyoko Shimizu & Ryūnoske Tanaka

Now I know I know

Ryu would be a dog person

He'd want a big manly pet not a cat blah blah blah

Kiyoko would definitely be a cat person

She wouldn't want a purebred and would probably find a box of some kittens with Ryu on the side of the sidewalk

Now look me in the eye and lie to me by saying that Ryu would now start crying immediately upon seeing like four lonely little kittens in a box that need a home

Needless to say, they take them home and nurture them endlessly

But Tanaka would be the kind of guy that harness trains his cats so they can go out on walks

Kiyoko would research how to harness train them, what food would be the best, and anything else they need to take care of these four cats

Imagine seeing these two, a big muscular dude and this goddess walking four cats on harnesses down the street

I literally cannot stop thinking about Ryu and Kiyoko cuddling on the couch with all four adult and rather large cats draping themselves across the two of them

I feel like the reason Ryu would want them harness trained is bc he wouldn't be able to spend much time with them

His job as a personal trainer would keep him busy

So on his morning jogs to stay fit he'd want to take not only Kiyoko but the cats as well

I plan on making more parts to this, I hope you enjoy it 😉

[places head in hands] His cat’s name is Beignet.

She’s an orange and white, harlequin, and shorthair Japanese bobtail. She has heterochromia (one blue/”silver” eye and one gold eye). As is common with the breed, she’s super active and enjoys going outside on a harness and leash. She loves playing with humans and can be kind of a menace at times. Once she gets to know other people, she gets very attached.

#guess who has to write a post abt kok.ichi knowing multiple languages including french now [sobs]#anyway i'm kidding i would die for beignet #listen i wasn't gonna do heterochromia but APPARENTLY it's more common in this breed than most cat breeds #and i just went 'hrngh beta!kok.ichi vibes' and decided #˖ ✧ ends / means » ( headcanon )

Tips On Simply how To Decide Your Rabbits Breed

I simply needed to have my outside dwarf Rex rabbit put to sleep this afternoon after suddenly getting very sick and I couldn’t find a vet that knew about rabbits before she received worse. I’ve had her for six years and once I obtained her from some folks they informed me that she was very old, about 8-10 is what they said. She was one of the best pet bunnies I even have ever had and the only one I’ve had that may “talk” to me, by making a lot of noises each time I held and cuddled her. They are highly meat and fur productive and really suitable for business farming.

Then organize their water, hay feeder, and litter field inside the house.

To be taught extra about rabbit care, visit House Rabbit Society at rabbit.org.

She would nestle within the dust surrounded by a miniature forrest of oregano leaves.

Weighing in at solely 2.5 lbs, the Netherland Dwarf is doubtless one of the smallest rabbit breeds. With a brachycephalic head, short ears, and large eyes, there’s no dispute about their cuteness. The Netherland Dwarf may be skittish, however, so they’re not beneficial for young children. But with the best household, this sweet little bunny will come out of their shell.

Blanc De Hotot Rabbit

Rabbits want a way to get off the hard wire of the cage every so often, in any other case they may develop sore hocks. They promote resting boards on the pet provide shops, or they are typically included with the cage. You can also use an old scrap of carpet or a bit of toweling.

How much does a pet bunny cost?

If you decide to buy a bunny at a pet store, you could spend up to $40 for an average rabbit. Show rabbits and rare breeds can cost over $100. The shelter or pet store should inform you whether your new bunny has been spayed or neutered.

This breed of rabbits has quick fur and is a superb beginner-friendly rabbit. They look attractive for his or her purple coat and don’t require much grooming because of the brief length of their hairs. These rabbits are small in measurement and perfect as indoor pets. So I guess as a beginner pet rabbit owner, you won't wish to adopt dwarf rabbits. Not adopting dwarf rabbit breeds will forestall you from the bills of visiting a veterinary a number of times a year. This is undoubtedly one of the in style rabbit breeds on the planet.

Litter

You should all the time meet a rabbit in person a quantity of instances and spend time holding and interacting with it earlier than deciding to adopt it. Even if a breed is thought for having a friendly temperament, a person rabbit could display behavioral points depending on its historical past. For instance, a rabbit that's only about a foot long should not want a cage more than two toes in size. A rabbit that is three feet long might have a really massive cage, which can be exhausting to slot in a smaller space.

What is the smartest bunny breed?

Popular opinion does claim that some breeds are smarter than others, though. For example, Mother Nature Network describes the Belgian Hare as the smartest domesticated rabbit. The Harlequin Rabbit is also frequently described as among the most intelligent lagomorphs.

There are literally 4 different varieties of wool found on various kinds of Angoras. A lot of rabbit owners with Angora coats choose to keep their coats cut brief for simpler care. Angora fur shouldn't be clipped right up to the skin because the coat provides natural safety in opposition to warmth, chilly, and something that will injure the pores and skin. Be sure to go away a minimal of 1 inch (2.5 cm) in length to the coat. Rabbits, like cats will groom themselves, nonetheless in doing so they are susceptible to hair balls.

The Japanese rabbit is orange or fawn and either black, blue, chocolate, or lilac. The Magpie is white and both black, blue, chocolate, or lilac and each varieties are around ten pounds of beautiful beauty. This provides the rabbit a safe place from which to see, hear and scent all that is happening. Housing a rabbit in a child’s room or an extra bedroom, the place there are sporadic bursts of exercise, may actually delay the rabbit’s adjustment to normal household life.

What's your favorite rabbit coat colors? Favorite doe you currently own? Funniest rabbit story?

favourite coat colours....i am a big fan of both japanese and magpie harlequin, harlequin dutch, super steel, and tort. black otter is really nice too but i am not a fan of it in coats that aren’t rex, but rex tend to have bad rufous so it’s a trade-off.

favourite doe i currently own is obviously rosette. my favourite doe NOT in the old bat home is a toss between georgie, cloud nine, and spooky? georgie cos she’s super sweet like her mom, cloud nine because she’s HUGE, and spooky because i like that she has a personality lol.

funniest rabbit story is probably the cocopuff affair, that i talked about in a post a couple days ago. my friend owned her for a YEAR and neither of us realized she was a doe, not a buck. no wonder she never really wanted to breed with any of the does we gave her.

second funniest probably is the time that i culled a rabbit and was holding it while it went through its death throes and i wasn’t hold it tight enough so it rocketed out of my arms and started doing cartwheels across my yard. which, at the time, i lived in a trailer park with many many children. fortunately i don’t think anyone saw me chasing a dead rabbit around like a crazy person and no children were traumatized, but it still was An Event.

The Rhinelander is a medium-sized breed of domestic rabbit that originated in Germany. Rhinelanders are known for their distinctive facial "butterfly markings", a spine marking, colored ears, cheek spots, eye circles and side markings (on a white background) of black with orange or of blue with fawn. The Rhinelander breed is recognized by the British Rabbit Council (BRC) and by the American Rabbit Breeders Association (ARBA).

The Rhinelander is an arched breed of rabbit, meaning that light shows between its body and the ground when the rabbit is sitting or moving. The Rhinelander has a trim athletic appearance, with the body being the same width from shoulders to hip. The Rhinelander is known for its distinctive coat pattern and for its "butterfly markings" which cover the nose and upper jaw in a shape resembling a butterfly. British standard calls for a weight of 6 to 10 lb, while the American registry prefers a weight of 7 to 9 pounds.. The only color pattern recognized by the BRC is a white base colour with black and yellow markings on the face and back; however, ARBA recognizes a blue and fawn spotting pattern on a white background, in addition to the black and orange pattern.

For many years the only marking color accepted was black/orange. However, in 2012 blue/fawn Rhinelanders can be shown and earn ARBA Grand Championship status for the first time. Lorena Ferchaud of Rough and Ready, California, developed the new color through many years of selection. She introduced the blue variety with blue Japanese Harlequins, because the Rhinelander is genetically a broken harlequin.

The body type is full arched: long-limbed and carried with grace in order to show off those beautiful markings. Rhinelanders are not posed, but like others in the full arch category, they run the length of the table during judging.

The Rhinelander first appeared in shows in 1902 in Germany, after initially being bred in North Rhine-Westphalia. They were developed from a cross between a Harlequin buck and a gray papillon type doe. A buck from the litter had the markings that the Rhinelander would come to be known for - black and orange in color, located on the chin, ears and "butterfly markings" in black on one side and orange on the other. Another cross was made between the Harlequin buck and a Checkered Giant doe, with the resulting litter producing a doe with the desired markings. The buck from the first litter and the doe from the second litter were mated, and does from the resulting litters were crossed with Harlequin bucks to create the Rhinelander breed. In 1905, a German breed standard was created, and they were given the German name "Rheinishe Schecke". In 1924, the first rabbits were exported to the Netherlands and England. Although initially very popular, the initial interest soon dwindled, along with breeder numbers. Interest reemerged in post-World War II Germany, however, and population numbers again grew, with the Rhinelander becoming the most popular spotted breed in the country by 1978.

After the first exports from Germany to the US in 1923, the Rhinelander was recognized as a breed in the US by the National Breeders and Fanciers Association. By 1932, however, none remained in the US, likely due either to the difficulties of meeting the breed standard or to greater breeder interest in the Checkered Giant rabbit. In 1972, an American breeder visiting West Germany saw the breed at a show and returned to the US with four Rhinelanders. In 1974, the Rhinelander Rabbit Club of America was created, and in 1975, the breed was acknowledged by the American Rabbit Breeders Association. Some breeders crossed Rhinelanders with Harlequin or Checkered Giant rabbits to improve the stock. In 1994, the American breed standard was rewritten and clarified, and interest in the breed continued to grow. The Livestock Conservancy currently places the breed at "watch" status, meaning there is a global population of less than 2,000 and fewer than 200 registrations in the US each year. In Britain, the Rhinelander breed is currently designated as a member of the BRC's "Rare Varieties Club".

what if alonzo was a Japanese bobtail cat? that would be pretty interesting, can it be done?

i love hearing hcs about the types of cat all the Jellicles are! Alonzo as a Japanese bobtail is one that I hear quite a bit, and i can definitely see it!

i usually tend to just use "harlequin" as a description for Alonzo, i never really have a specific breed in mind for him!

(though i would be happy to talk abt my other hcs for what breeds the members of the Jellicles are 👀)
