Abstract
Three areas of the island of Cyprus have been sampled for frequency of nine mutant genes among the domestic cat population. The significance of the observed frequencies are discussed with particular reference to the existence of world-wide clines for O (orange) and t b (blotched tabby). The frequencies for Cyprus seems to be intermediate to those reported for European and Asian populations and could be part of the proposed East-West cline for the two genes.Keywords
