A place to show off vitiligo cats if you're lucky enough to find one!
Vitiligo cats are like the shiny pokemon of Clangen: they are fairly rare, and often so similar to normal patterns that you won't notice them unless you're looking
What is vitiligo? It's a genetic condition that inhibits melanin pigmentation production, causing flecks of white. Unlike normal white-spotting, vitiligo doesn't follow normal white-spotting patterns and increases as a cat ages, and looks like a more "salt and pepper" coloration, with random scattering of white, than a white patch or dapple.
Clangen has a very small chance to generate cats with vitiligo, and a small chance that a cat with vitiligo will pass it down to any kits they may have. There are eight vitiligo patches in Clangen. These generate on top of normal white patches and may be hard to spot if your cat has a high degree of white-spotting, has a smoke or point pattern, or is light colored. There are also some gradient white patches that can look like vitiligo.
If you'd like to confirm your cat is vitiligo, you can check their file. The tutorial on how to find that information is in the spoiler. You can also check the allegiances in the top right: their description will have "with vitiligo" at the end.
Good luck!

How to check a cat's infomation.
You can find if a cat has vitiligo in the Clan's allegiances here:
Or you can do it through the files (helpful if you're going through multiple Clans/hundreds of cats/StarClan cats)
First, navigate to the data directory. You can find this in the settings or in the menu to save a cat's image.
Once you're in the directory file, click "Saves" -> "Clanprefix" -> clan_cats.json
The .json should open in notepad/wordpad by default
This is where the information for all your cats is stored! Scroll through to find your cat, use the find tool, or paste into a word processor of your choice to use its find tool.
You're looking for this line here. If your cat has vitiligo, it will have any of the above named patterns. If it does not, the field will say "null".
