Poizuun, if you see anything I got wrong, please tell me so I can fix it. >.>
BLUE EYES:
Blue eyes are a special trait that a cat needs to have certain qualifications for. Without at least one of these, the cat would not have blue eyes. But just because blue eyes are available does not mean every cat should have blue eyes. We need diversity people.
-The cat must have a good amount of white on them. There is not exact measuring amount, but imagine putting both your hands on the cat. Is there more white then your hands cover? If so, the cat can have blue eyes.
-The cat must be oriental. We are not allowing oriental cats in unless they are half-breeds.
-The cat must be a tabby. Gray tabbies are most common to have
blue eyes.

WHITE FUR
White fur has some limitations. This is just to make sure that no one has the bare minimum for blue eyes.
-If a cat has one white paw, all their paws will be white. I'm not sure how true this is, but for this site, all their paws must be white. Not just one.
-If a cat has a white chest, they must have a white belly. But they can have a white belly and not need a white chest. I don't know how this one works, but it's true.
-The "mask" formation that cats sometimes have is only available in Tuxedo cats or Tabbies. The mask is the to fur color (gray, black, brown) and the rest of the face is white.

WHITE FUR, BLUE EYES
Most people think that this means the cat is deaf. It does not. A white cat with blue eyes is more prone to being deaf, though. If too many cats come with white fur and blue eyes, we will request a few of them be deaf or changed.

PURPLE EYES
Purple eyes have all the same requirements as blue ones. But they are a mutation of the gene for blue eyes, and are extremely rare. This is why we have one per clan. The player will have to go to great lengths to have their cat accepted.

That is one of the few non-photoshopped pictures out there. Tells you how rare they are, don't it?
TORBIES
Torbies are a cross mix between tabbies and Torties. What happens is the cat gains a mix of their qualities. Normally the cat will have stripes and spots on their fur and have two different colors to them.
For example, the cat could normally be an gray tabby. But got part of the tortie gene (making it a torbie) and instead of darker gray stripes, it could have brown stripes and spots.

TORTIES AND CALICOS
Calicos have three colors, torties have two. In torties, the color white does not count for one of their two colors.
Male Calicos and Torties could not survive in the wild, they are not accepted on this board.
