List of Prefixes and Suffixes Allowed on AWRP

[Clemintine]

This is just a suggestion^^ Prefixes are usually given to a kit by his/her pelts color so you DO NOT have to choose a prefix based off of just your cats pelt color this is just here for fun and help :3  Midnight

Genetically, all ginger cats are tabbies. Please keep this in mind when creating ginger cats!

Also keep in mind that a tortoiseshell has little to no white, while a calico has a base of white with black and ginger (or gray and cream) patches.

Tortoiseshells:





Calicoes:





Please also note that there are a few prefixes/suffixes used in the books that are not on this list. If you actually care enough to use things that I don't see at all useful or easy to use, go right ahead, just be prepared to put some proof up if they're not on this list. Also keep in mind that, as long as it makes sense (can be explained with reason), then many prefixes can be used as suffixes and vice-versa.
