The C gene controls how sharp their claws are: C is sharp, which is dominant to c. But it is a bit more complicated...
Because the R gene controls how well they can retract their claws. rr cats cannot retract their claws, and thus,
they are always touching the ground and are never sharp. Only RR or Rr cats have a possibility of sharp claws.
The A gene is useful when cats are angry. AA cats growl. aa cats hiss. Aa cats growl and hiss.
All of these genes are unlinked.
