to wrap your brain around. I don't think anyone is actually calling those cats leucistic except a few of us crazy 'snake freaks'. They are referred to as just "dominant whites", and who knows if they are really leucistic. They do indeed produce litters when bred together in all colors, so the leucistic look could be the het form, but it is WAY more likely that it is just a wacky dominant gene that mimics leucisticism. All we can really say is they are pure white with blue eyes. Have you seen those white doberman's with blue eyes? In pictures they look leucistic too, only in person can you tell that they actually have a tiny wash of very light off white. All very interesting. : )
