When it comes to Mankikan, many people will think of short-legged cats, but do you know? Mankikan also has long-legged cats, but it’s very strange that cats of the same breed actually have the difference between long and short legs. What is the reason for this? Next, the editor will talk about it carefully.
In fact, this is caused by genes. Blowing feet are dominant genes. Two blowing cats are not suitable for mating, otherwise bidoubular genes may be produced. Such kittens will be absorbed by the female cat's uterus during the embryo.
Due to embryo absorption, it is completely impossible for the double-genetic Mankikan dwarf cat to exist. Therefore, Mankikan cannot breed in homozygous form, and the offspring they produce will not be all short-legged.
Also, the record of Mankikan and other long-legged cats being able to give birth to long-legged Mankikan cats is also very high. Long-legged and short-legged Mankikan cats can also give birth to long-legged cats. 50% of long legs with short legs, and 66% of short legs with short legs.
But what we need to know is that long-legged Mankikan is a disqualified person and cannot be ranked in the competition level.
