@Fawn Yooooo I would die for those saturated colors!!

It's been a While since my last marking suggestion (a year?), but I have finally concocted More.
Links to my previous suggestions for relevance: Ghost, Ticked, Day and Night, Water, and Hallow
And the white spottings bc why not. Also a reminder to myself to swap out the image links for when Discord nixes hosting. Back and Front, and Fade

Anyway! This next one is called Dorsal, but I've already used the D so I'm using the letter O for these guys. As usual my preview colours are Almond, Black, and Snow. Onward:

O + O = Dorsal


O + T = Dun


O + S = Sprinkle


O + M = Woodgrain


O + P = Linepoint


And Dorsal + my other suggestions:

O + G = Fishbone


O + K = Dissolve


O + D = Lightning


O + N = Donkey


O + W = Brushstroke


O + H = Slither


These are so fun to make, haha!


And Another:

Blotch! B allele. These are especially fun alongside tortie/watercolours and white markings, heh.

B + B = Blotch


B + T = Banded


B + S = Orbular


B + M = Flux


B + P = Highpoint


And onto the extras:

B + G = Gloop


B + K = Cape


B + D = Triggerfish


B + N = Canine


B + W = Curl


B + H = Triangles


B + O = Furcoat

I used to play Happy Pets and I adored my house full of glow cats. I'd love to have some kind of glow not-cats in PCE.

One idea I thought of was what if "glow" consists of the not-cat's main lineart being lighter instead of darker.

Another idea was that the main lineart could be obscured by a diffusion of the not-cat's main color, feathered out three or four pixels maybe.

Even both kinds of glow could work? Maybe?

At some point there was also "multiglow" in Happy Pets, where the glows potentially had three separate colors, but that might be too much to fit into the tiny pixels.

I would love it if glow beans had basically no visible features, were just little glow clouds in the general not-cat shape until they grew to kitten size <3

-------------------------

Even if none of the rest of the designs (they're all great!) in the post above this one is implemented, we so very much need Highpoint!

I really like the look of the darker stripes Fawn suggested!



I really like this idea, but I have a different suggestion for the genetics behind it.

Right now we have YN alleles for the gene next to the pattern type

[(Y or N) (Y or N) (S or T or M or P) (S or T or M or P)] is the set

The suggested Countershading option here by BlueOrchidWolf earlier in the thread proposed adding a C to that Y or N option, to enable Countershading. I think this darker patterning could also be a gene there, D, so that you'd have four options if both were implemented:

[(Y or N or C or D)(Y or N or C or D)(S or T or M or P)(S or T or M or P)]

Y is dominant, N is recessive, currently.

I would suggest in order to have a bit easier time coordinating everything that Y would act like the L suggested by Fawn, N being recessive would be ignored if present, and C would be doing its own thing.

D would be dominant over N, but not sure if it should be dominant over Y or Y dominant over D or if they'd be codominant.

So a [YYTT] or [YNTT] is a current mackerel,
a [NNTT] is a current solid,
a [DDTT] or [DNTT] would show the black/darker stripes,
a [CDTT] or [CYTT] would show countershaded mackerel,
a [CNTT] or [CCTT] would show countershaded solid,

and
a [DYTT] would show the intermediate-darker stripes or if that is deemed too much extra art, it could be decided if D or Y is dominant as to stripe color.

THIS! Though I always considered butterfly style wings and dragonfly style wings to be typical for fairy creatures. Also maybe some types of beetle wings.

Bat wings for lil'gothy-kitties would be cool!

I think some of the pattern suggestions here would be awesome. More cats! More cats! More cats!

Here I was wanting rainbow colored cats too. Lol.

I have a pose suggestion called "Standing" in which the not-cat tries(at best of their ability) to stand on only their back paws

Bellow is just a drawing I did to illustrate the idea I had

I had a dream that you guys added frog-cats. That alone was delightful but their beans looked like little tadpoles with cat ears which was absolutely adorable. So yes I think amphibious not-cats whose babies are tadpoles would be amazing.

Aww fwog-cats... Yes please!

Not sure if this is the right spot, but if a cat adopts a Nestor kitten before getting a partner the parent's partner should be given the option to also adopt the kitten! (the cat in my pfp has 2 nestor kittens, but due to this situation his partner only has 1)

I have this issue too. Leaf adopted Harley before being partnered with Lime. Now Leaf also has a second adoptee, Oakley. Lime and Leaf are considered the parents. However, Leaf has since also become partners with a third kitty. So they aren't the parent of either kitten.
