Basic (Overcoat)

The Basic Gene was to be an overcoat gene, but was scrapped in development and replaced by the Solid gene, in order to establish a pool of genes that were more stylized, complex and complementary to one another.^[1] It was present in the initial version of the demo, at the time of the Kickstarter.

Cats with this gene had solid, single-color overcoats, save for a simple pair of markings around their eyes.

With the Basic overcoat, a cat's undercoat was visible on its chest, underbelly, paws, and tailtip.
