Universities used to pay big bucks for a male calico.

Ok in my area we must have cat color oddities.. LOL..

My best friend had a female orange tabby with no other colors but orange.. Only one I remember seeing.

My brother got a white cat that had one blue eye and one green eye. He never fixed it. Now there are about a dozen that look exactly the same.

I once had a black male cat that had a perfect white circle on his neck, under his chin. He was fixed. And I got him in a different town. But about one year after I got him. Tons of the same color showed up in our town with a white dot under their chin. And darn if they werent all males.

I do notice that most grey (blue) cats that are of mixed breed in our town are a male, with green eyes.
And if you do find one that is female, she usualy has golden colored eyes.

Most male cats can only have 2 colors. But once we had a male orange cat. He had white feet and chest, and he had black whiskers. Boy he was different. Dont know if he was sterile, we had him fixed.

I remember when I was a small kid. A town 2 hours north of me. Some ones female cat had a male calico kitten. Not as nicely marked as a female one. They sold it for $1,000. I have no idea what happened to it after that. I know it was male, I saw it in person. Its coloring was not as splotched and mixed like a female calico. Its back half was more orange, its front half was more black. It also had white but not much. I sure wish I had a photo of it. Personally I believe it may have been twins that grew together.

We also have a small collection of polydactle cats in the area, extra toes. My grandma used to collect them, she always said they were smarter because they had thumbs. Well it seemed like it with the extra toe. We had one male extra toed cat that could opens jars if the lid wasnt on it right.

Gasoline and chlorine can't be shipped together, they can explode if mixed.

Aerosol hairspray (and oil like WD-40) make great flamethrowers.

And hairspray is great for removing ink stains, but will also take off acrylic paint while removing ink after your child just wrote all over that stenciling that you spent many hours creating.

If you have kids that get bubble gum in their hair, use peanut butter or ice to get it out.

If you start your day by swallowing one live fresh frog, then surely everything else that day will be much better and more appreciated!
