Cat Genetics for Writers & Artists part 2: Black, Chocolate, & Cinnamon [CC]

EDIT: A helpful commenter made efforts to correct me on why chocolate/cinnamon cats are brown, which may be the result of the shape of the eumelanin reflecting light differently, rather than the presence of pheomelanin. However, the source they provided was in reference to dog alleles rather than cats, so please take both potential explanations with a grain of salt. If you find more info on this topic, please let me know!

Episode two!! And also probably the shortest, simplest one. Enjoy the simplicity while it lasts bc later loci can get pretty complicated!
