Now I am confused. Though that was interesting. How do you explain the fact that most orange cats are male? Does this mixed female coloration happen most of the time?

Coat color genetics are complicated. For this allele, black is dominant over orange. In a population with an equal distribution of black and orange alleles, the males would be 50% orange and 50% black, while the females would be 25% orange and 75% black. (Because an equal distribution would result in equal numbers of BB, BO, OB, and OO, where only the OO shows the color).

Spanky, I'd like a ruling on genetics talk in Spankyland, banned or not banned? Gregor Threads here is likely to continue if not suitably pruned.

p.s. Threads, you are my favorite, notwitstanding the above.

Seems kinda woodsy but still the burbs. My question is this: we know he doesnt use litterboxes. Hes got three cats peeing in the yard where there is a lot of sunshine. How does it not reek like a bottle of ammonia?

It is my experience that only litter boxes smell. I have never been in yard that smelled like amonia because of cats. Anyway, two acres is a lot of room.

Genetic talk is fine, good education for the kiddies.

All stuff that involves human bodily fluids or innocent animals being tortured or maimed should stay on the fashion board.

If you rea referring to Streudel being dragged around, that wasnt really torture.

Hey, I have no rights here either. Best one can do is go find someone who does.

OK, I don't know what allele means but would the BO just be black and the OB be tortie or calico?
