	Genes can be applied to an existing cat using {{i\|Metamorphic}}s. Metamorphics are applied to a cat ~~by navigating to~~ the [[storage]] ~~and selecting the desired metamorphic, then selecting "use", and finally the desired cat to apply the metamorphic to~~. Applying new genes to a pair that is [[nesting]] will affect the unborn kits so long as the player hasn't selected "Meet your kits".

Kits always inherit the genes of their parents. Genes do not "jump" to other slots. That is to say a gene in Accent 1 will never appear in Accent 2, and vice versa.

	Every gene has a rarity ~~that~~ determines the odds of inheritance. ~~The more~~ similar ~~the rarity is between two genes the closer~~ to ~~50/50 the outcomes will be~~. ~~Two~~ genes ~~of different~~ rarities ~~results~~ in the ~~lower rarity gene being the more common outcome. Pairing identical genes together~~ will ~~always result in the gene being the outcome~~.		Every gene has a rarity which determines the odds of inheritance. Competing genes of similar rarities will each have an even 50% chance to appear. Lower rarity genes are more frequent, while higher rarities are less frequent. Genes that are shared between parents in the same slots will have a 100% chance of passing down.

	* Overcoat, the primary and predominant pattern of a cat.

	The undercoat is an accompanying pattern that typically covers the underbelly of a cat, it is layered under the overcoat. The visibility of the undercoat is greatly influenced by the overcoat. Some patterns such as [[solid]] do not show the overcoat, while others, such as [[minkface]] predominantly show the undercoat.

Some patterns such as [[solid]] do not show the overcoat, while others, such as [[minkface]] predominantly show the undercoat.

	The undercoat has two patterns: Standard and Dilute. Standard undercoats show the hue at normal saturation, while dilute undercoats are dynamic and become lighter if the overcoat is darker than the undercoat color. Cats have a singular undercoat slot. They are applied with either {{i\|Dilute Undercoat Amber}} or {{i\|Standard Undercoat Amber}}. See {{cl\|Undercoat Genes}} for a list of all undercoat genes.

 ===Overcoat===
-''Category page: [[:Category:Overcoat|Overcoat]]''<br>
+The predominant pattern on a cats coat. Overcoats typically cover the majority of a cat's body. The color of the overcoat is determined by the cats overcoat color. Some patterns include additional accent colors alongside the base color. Cats have a singular overcoat slot. They are applied with agates, a sub-type of metamorphics. See {{cl|Overcoat Genes}} for a list of all overcoat genes.

-Undercoat genes affect the "bottom" layer of a cat, underneath the overcoat. They typically have less coverage than overcoats, but can cover more. Cats have one undercoat slot. Undercoat types can be changed with [[Ambers]].

+Accent genes add extra details to a cat, from small pops of color to additional features that break a cats silhouette. Accent 1 will always layer above Accent 2. The genes of either accent slot can be swapped with the use of a {{i|Patterncross Quartz}}. Unlike the overcoat or undercoat, an accent can be removed using a {{i|Remove Accent Quartz}}. Removed accents aren't visible on a cat. Accent genes are applied using quartzes, a sub-type of metamorphics. See {{cl|Accent Genes}} for a list of all accent genes.
-Scrapped genes were implemented into the initial version of the demo, but made obsolete by the introduction of [[White Coverage]], or simply replaced with a similar gene. These genes will not be available in the final version of the game. Additionally, all undercoat genes were scrapped with the introduction of the dynamic undercoat mechanic.
