hey im gonna give in depth info about albinism and cats here. true albino w red eyes is a common myth bc w some ppl, their eyes may appear red in certain pov. however, its only bc of their lack of pigment which sometimes allows the blood vessels to show through the irises, causing them to look like they have pink or red eyes

so albino animals do not have red eyes! in this case, i wouldnt recommend you roleplay a true albino anyways. a partial albino would have pale blue or grey eyes. albinos r very sensitive to sunlight and often very weak- maybe not even strong enough to survive in the wild. i doubt a true albino that lacks pigment in their eyes will live long enough to be a warrior.

"For cats, melanin gives color to the skin, the coat, and the eyes. In the eyes alone, it also aids in depth perception. On a more holistic level, it assists in the body’s ability to fight off infection and disease."

... yeah, i dont think an albino cat will make it in a clan. stay safe with a partial instead

also! if you really want to have an albino kit please play attention to genetics since both parents MUST have an albino marker in their dna if you're looking for a true albino. other than that, this newborn is going to be partial.

ok im done and im outta here
