I've tried reading on the genetics and I've found them to be more interesting than I thought. So now I'm curious. I'd like it if someone could give me a list (of whatever length) of which cats of mine are most valuable. I have an albino and 2 nulls that I know are considered more valuable than my other cats, but I'm still new to this. I don't really understand anything about patterns and colors, so it would help me if I visualized them with my cats. Thank you in advance!

I'm not the best at cat pricing, but from just a glance:

Your albino ofc:
shorthair albino  catwhiteness: 10left eyesRight Red Carnation HeadpieceDarkwood SwordTasty Bleeding HeartsRed Lily Petal Whirl


Your lynxpoint cats! While not as valuable as colorpoint, lynxpoints are still quite valuable:
shorthair red lynxpoint catwhiteness: 0neutral eyesBrown Eggshell NecklaceNot-Holly Crown
shorthair ginger lynxpoint catwith trade markings: orange lynxpointwhiteness: 1left eyes


Your nulls:
shorthair snow rosette catwhiteness: 1squint eyesMaroon Feather AnkletsDark Sunflower Petal WhirlAutumn Leaf Cloak
shorthair snow broken catwhiteness: 3neutral eyesLightwood Bark FlagBlue Daisy Crown


Your cat with high white:
shorthair charc classic catwith trade markings: grey classicwhiteness: 9neutral eyesRainbow Tulip NecklaceFalling Winter Leaves

(White 9 isn't as rare as albino but it's still pretty rare. From what I can tell 1-8 don't really have too much significance to value in the same regard, since they're more common)

You don't have any solids or silver/beige cats, but if you did those would also be quite valuable.

Cat 'rarity' can depend on a number of factors! Several traits are weighted to be more or less common, and I can walk through the genetics to explain which ones are rarer! I did a bit of data collection prior to the white spotting type expansion. Nothing on business cards but a fair amount on Nestor cats.

Species:
Only Not-Cats right now!

Wind:
Nulls are the rarest Wind!
The N and S alleles are the same rarity, where the O allele is rarer. Nulls are the least common to get from Nestor (about a 3% chance). The rates of Norths, Souths and Trades are all roughly the same, and a little under half of the Norths/Souths end up being Null-Carriers.

Fur Length:
Longhair is rarer than Shorthair!
This one's pretty simple, with no apparent weighting with the S and L alleles, meaning that roughly 1/4 Nestor cats will be Longhair. (Out of shorthairs from Nestor, 2/3 of them will be carrying Longhair!)

Base Colour:
Nothing is more or less rare here!
Both B and O alleles have an equal chance to generate, and the colours do not participate in Dominant/recessive behaviour.

Dilution:
Dilute is rarer!
Another simple no-weight D/r trait. 1/4 chance of a Dilute colour.

Density:
Density 1 is rarer!
This one is weighted! In terms of rarity, the order goes: 1 -> 2 -> 4 -> 3, with Density 3 cats being the most common at around 2/5 cats (compared with D1 only showing up at just over 1/20).

Pattern/Solid:
Solid is rarer!
This is a recessive trait that is also weighted! Solid cats pop up roughly 2% of the time from Nestor, and Solid Carriers at about 30%. The remaining 68% cats don't carry Solid!

Pattern Type:
Colourpoint is rarer!
The marking alleles are weighted for sure! In terms of rarity, the order goes: P -> M -> S -> T, with T being the most common. Now, as Patterns are a result of two alleles combining, it can be a little tricky to define which Patterns are actually rarer than others, but I can say for sure that Colourpoint, with two P alleles, is the rarest Pattern to generate. Mackerel, with two T alleles, is the most common Pattern.

Whitespotting On/Off:
No-White is rarer!
This one might be Slightly weighted, with my data showing about a 1/5 chance of a No-White cat from Nestor! This is another D/r trait. Roughly 1/2 of Nestor cats will carry No-White, and the remaining cats don't!

Whitespotting Level Number:
10s (Albino) and 0s ('Invisible' White) are rarer!
White Spotting numbers are very weighted, with either end of the scale being equally uncommon. Somewhere around 1-2% apiece. White 1 and 2 seem to be the most common numbers from Nestor, with the odds decreasing the higher the number gets.
Visually, Albino is rarer than Invisible White, as the same effect can be achieved simply with a No-White cat.

White Type:
Inverse is rarer!
Now, I haven't collected any data on Nestor cats since the Whitespotting update, but anecdotally at least it seems like the current order of rarity for them from most to least rare is Left/Right -> Piebald -> Classic, with Inverse not being available from Nestor at all! Inverse is not only exclusive to Gardenhome Business Cards, but it also seems to be the rarest type in the Card Odds as well!

So all in all, yeah I think your Albino probably has one of the rarer traits in the game!
