The Bob Uzzman Cat: Buzzle Breeding Form

The Bob Uzzeman Cat: Breeding Form

The Buzzle Breeding Center is currently ACCEPTING Buzzle breedings.

Buzzle Breedings will be offered occationally on the PI Adoptables forums. To breed, you must own a Buzzle Breeding Ticket, and must either own or have permission to use a male and female Buzzle for breeding. The owners of the Buzzles you have permission for must PM me during the breeding season to say you have permission. To be elligible for breeding, the Buzzles must be posted, with the correct URL for them listed on the Adopted Buzzle List. After the breeding season ends, your baby will appear here in the nursery. Within one week of birth your baby will become an adult. You will then have one week to tell me a name for your Buzzle, after which you will receive pickup instructions.

When breedings are offered (and only when they are offered) you may PM me the following form to set up a breeding:

Buzzle Breeding Explained (the Story)

Buzzles need a very specific combination of the right length of day, the right food, and the right percentages of rain and sun in order to breed. After studying them for quite awhile, it was determined that breeding in captivity, while essential to the Buzzle's survival, would be quite difficult for the normal pet owner to achieve. For this reason, the Buzzle Adoption Committe has created the Buzzle Breeding Center. The Buzzle Breeding Center is a state-of-the-art breeding facility where all the criteria for Buzzle breeding are met. Each Buzzle pair stays in carefully climate controlled rooms where they receive exactly the right amount of simulated sunlight and rain, and enjoy gourmet Buzzle meals prepared by our knowledeable Buzzle chefs. Success rates at this facility are near 100%--take your Buzzles to the Buzzle Breeding Center, and you're practically guaranteed a baby Buzzle! Pet owners who want to experience raising their own cub must first purchase a Breeding Ticket from the center. They they can take the two male and female Buzzle they've selected to the Center during the announced time period. Tickets are necessary due to limited space at the Center.

One of the strange facts about Buzzles is that females can carry cubs from completey different fathers during the same season. What limit there might be to the number of cubs a female can carry at the same time is currently under scientic investigation. The females to not appear to suffer from carrying more cubs, but it has been noted that if a female has more than 3 cubs at a time, the cubs tend to come out less vibrant colors, with fewer patterns passed on to them from their parents. It is speculated that additional problems with the cubs could occur if too many births from the same mother happen at once. It is also under investigation whether there is a limit to the number of offspring a male can have at once. So far, no adverse effects to the cubs or father has been noted, regardless of the number of offspring.

Scientists also made a brief study of the effects of inbreeding on Buzzle cubs. The study was brief because of the negative nature of the results obtained. According to Dr. Uzzeman, "The offspring of closely related pairings were clearly unhealthy, and might even be called grotesque. We feel that any inbreeding of Buzzles within 6 or 7 generations is highly unethical."

Buzzle Inheritance

Buzzle cubs have a 1/3 chance of being male, and a 2/3 chance of being female.

Buzzle cubs have a 50% chance of inheriting their main body color from their mother, and a 50% chance of inheriting from their father. There is a 1/10 chance that the baby will mutate and show a new body color.

Buzzles have a 50% chance of inheriting any marking visible on its parent. Each marking is passed on separately, so a baby might inherit all, none, or some of it's parent's markings. Marking colors are passed independant of the markings themselves. For example, if you breed a pink spotted female to a blue striped male, you might get a cub with pink stripes. Marking colors don't carry recessives.

With each Buzzle breeding, there is a 1 in 10 chance of twins. Twins are produced randomly--so far no items have been found to increase their likelihood.

The Scruffy mutation has been determined a recessive gene. Two visible Scruffies bred together will always produce a Scruffy, a Scruffy bred to a carrier will produce 50% scruffies, a Scruffy bred to a non-carrier will produce 100% carriers, and two carriers bred together will produce 25% non-carriers, 75% carriers, and 25% Scruffies. The other mutations work in the same way.
