KMCC COMMITTEE MEETING
6 December 2009
The Committee are still appealing for cheek swabs from white cats of all breeds, either hearing or deaf. Please see this link.
UC DAVIS/KMCC - DEAFNESS IN WHITE CATS GENETIC RESEARCH
We Need Your Swabs!
Working with Professor Leslie Lyons of UC Davis in California, the Khao Manee Cat Club is coordinating an appeal for cheek swabs from at least 50 hearing and 50 deaf white cats of all breeds. Professor Lyons will research the possibilty of finding the gene responsible for causing deafness in white cats, which is more prevalent than in coloured cats.
We ask all owners of white cats to send us a cheek swab, the process is incredibly simple.
For further details, please visit our dedicated research page.
The first Khao Manee to enter the UK, Odyssey ChaWee of Ayshazen, made her debut exhibition at the Kensington Kitten & Neuter show on 25 July at Bracknell Leisure Centre, Bagshott Road, Bracknell. Please see the press release by clicking here.
