Granny's gone and done it again

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!

Mollie said the daddy is a big orange cat that hangs out at the dump. So that would be why.

what did you use to sedate him?

The vet gave him a shot. He knew Chuck was a jerk.

When my Shadow was young and I found out Robert was allergic the vet gave us some pills so I could shave them. A drunk cat gets just as pizzed as a sober one let me tell you. LOL Ended up putting them in a bird cage and setting them under the shower. hahaa

So did you ham get tough ? Thats how I make mine. That looks so good ! Made my mouth water. LOL Your cornbread looks very moist. crunchy crust ! Thats 16 bean soup? I havent had any in ages ! Probably since Twist sent me ham hocks. I dont have an Easter bone but pretty sure I have a Christmas ham bone in the very bottom of the freezer ! LOL

Ok granny I wanted to make sure the ham was tender before I told you my method:

1.) quick soak beans- put dry beans in water and bring to boil. Boil for a few minutes, then remove from heat and cover. Let it sit for two hours.

2.) drain, rinse, and refill. Add hambone.

3.) cook on LOW for two more hours.

4.) remove bone, pick meat. Also now is the time to season.

5.) let it go up to another hour so the seasonings mingle in.

6.) ham and beans are soft and perfect.
