Granny's gone and done it again

Yeah, Pixie reminded me of Nugget too. Don't know about your maple leaves, but the tree can't grow for the season without leaves, so I think evolution would have provided some remedy for that.

Probably.
I am building a divider for the brooder after I took out the other one. Duh. But I was thinking of putting big chicks in there and decided to do littles instead.

The same place ?
I hope they do come back.

I bought a deshedder from amazon. It’s doing a great job! Two down, two to go.

He has a tail like Nuggets. Or she rather. I always think male when I see yellow. (Or red) LOL

I’ve been told that orange females are rare. But Mollie has an orange mama who has birthed three litters with orange females.

Mine hate being brushed. Star is the only one that seems to enjoy it. I started young w/ them.

Chuck was born feral and is such and askhat that I’ve had him sedated in the past, so I could brush him out. But he really enjoyed it today.

according to this the daddy and mom need to be orange.

What about the common belief that orange cats are always male? Well, that’s not entirely true. Orange cats are usually male.

The reason? The gene that codes for orange fur is on the X chromosome. Since females have two X’s and males have one X and one Y, this means that a female orange cat must inherit two orange genes–one from each parent–whereas a male only needs one, which he gets from his mother.

This orange gene can appear in calico cats and tortoiseshells, too.

In other words, male orange cats always come from mothers with an orange gene, but female orange cats also require a father with the same gene. That’s why orange cats are usually male.

Are you one of the lucky cat owners who has a rare female orange cat at home? Are you surprised that not all orange cats are male? Let us know in the comments below!

Best cat Robert ever had was feral. Found him in the van motor.
