That's what they told us about our orange girlcat, apparently it's really uncommon. EDIT: Here she is being a loving idiot:

easiest to just copypasta A cat with patches of red and black is a tortoiseshell, or 'tortie'. Add white, and you get a calico. A tortoiseshell that is homozygous for the recessive 'dilution' gene is referred to as a blue-cream, and that's what color it is: patches of soft grey and cream. This is the same gene that turns black cats 'blue' (grey), and red cats cream. A blue-cream and white is generally referred to in the cat world as a dilute calico. The pattern of black/red or blue/cream can either be in big dramatic patches, brindling, or some of both. Having more white seems to encourage the formation of the big patches. Red in cats is a sex-linked color, carried on the X gene. Therefore, a male cat whose X carries red will be a red tabby. A female cat who carries one red and one non-red X will be a patched tabby, a tortoiseshell, or a calico (if she also has the dominant gene for white markings). A female cat who is homozygous for red (has it on both X genes) will be a red tabby. This is why you see more male red tabbies than females. This is also why male calicos are so rare: you have to have two X genes to be a calico. Male calicos have genetic aberrations of various sorts, of which XXY is most common. While they are most commonly sterile, there *are* documented cases of fertile male calicos. However, the generalization that "all calicos/torties are female" is true 99.999 percent of the time. The reason red females are "uncommon" is that, statistically, the number of red males is equal to the number of tortoiseshell/calico, patched tabby, and red females. Red males and tortie/calico/patched tabby females can be produced when only one parent has the red gene, but to produce a red female, you must cross a red male with a red/tortie/calico/patched tabby female. That is why red females are uncommon. But not "impossible", in the sense that a male calico is "impossible." A "solid red" cat will always display the tabby pattern (although it may be very slight or even undetectable without brushing the fur back to check). There's another gene at work which controls "agoutiness" (whether individual hairs are banded or solid). Cats who are non-agouti will not generally display the tabby pattern, except in red areas. The non-agouti gene does not affect phaeomelanin, the red pigment, so red cats always show their tabby pattern. The red gene "overrides" the solid gene, making the tabby pattern visible again. (And on other solid colors, you can sometimes notice the underlying stripes, especially in strong light.) Solid red cats at cat shows may or may not be genetically solid--they are (generally longhairs) bred for the "blurring" of the tabby pattern, producing a cat that doesn't have dramatic markings. just realize that it's wrong about tortoiseshell and they can have white because the color genes do not reach specific spots (feet, chest, belly) and are unable to express their color which causes a tortie with white in it

Dexter's mother and 2 of his female siblings were orange tabby. He also had another orange brother and then, of course, Lulu. edited for clarity. GATOS Y VATOS fucked around with this message at 18:15 on Oct 16, 2012 |

The worst is when you find it dried up into some kind of cement. Had to scrape that poo poo off my crappy floors with a spatula. I threw out the spatula.

I am incredibly fortunate that Dexter and Lulu rarely vomit. the worst time though is when I mixed canned and dry food together for them, and Dexter projectile vomited that poo poo so hard it was amazing.

Yeah Doc used to barf literally every day, just hairballs or bile or ate-food-too-fast and it got to the point where I would hear him yowling and I'd go grab a paper plate and hold his back so he didn't run around and just let him barf on the plate and then throw it away

Charlie barfs up a hairball type thing about once a week even though we brush the poo poo out of him, we think its because he eats hair off the ground from time to time. Appa has never puked in our house so we think that she has an iron stomach considering all she eats. we're just waiting for the day to come

Also get some of the Petromalt stuff that helps with hairballs and it's delicious malt paste, cats go goddamn nuts for that poo poo It's also really sticky so if you blob some on their paw they will lick at it forever and be distracted while you brush them or clip their other nails or whatev

PipeRifle posted:Also get some of the Petromalt stuff that helps with hairballs and it's delicious malt paste, cats go goddamn nuts for that poo poo Ahahaha. Spenny refuses to eat that stuff. Instead we rub it on his paws to force him to lick it off, however this is proceeded by an attempt to shake it off, where he lifts the front left and rear right leg, shakes, takes a step forward, lifts the front right and rear left, shake and repeat for a 4 legged rendition of the ministry of silly walks before he eventually grumps and starts cleaning it off. Of course if you haven't rubbed it into his paws well enough he ends up flinging sticky brown paste around your house.
