✦ Synopsis

Surveys of gene frequencies in domestic cat (Fe/is catus) populations were carried out in four cities in the Netherlands. The principal variants recorded included seven mutant alleles affecting coat colour and hair length. Significant differences in frequencies were found between cities at some of the loci considered. The results of these surveys help to clarify certain trends in the distribution of mutant alleles in cat populations across Europe. Some insight is offered into the importance of trade routes in determining these patterns of distribution.

In addition, comparisons between owned pets and unwanted cats indicate that human preferences have little effect on mutant allele frequencies.
