Tortoiseshell cat - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia For a cat to be calico, it must simultaneously express both of the two genes, O and o, which are located at the same location on the X chromosome. In normal female tortoiseshell cats and in Klinefelter males, the position of the patches depends on which X-chromosome is active in each cell and which is inactivated to become a Barr body.

Calico Kitten, Male Calico Cat and Other Genetic Mysteries of Color A "true" calico is a tri-color cat, with its colors in distinct patches, not mixed as in a tortoiseshell cat.

Cat Fanciers: Color Genetics More cats have ticked fur than solid color, and in most of them, the ticked fur alternates with the solid color in some sort of pattern, which is called tabbying. People who have cats with just small patches of tabby markings on the head and tail and white everywhere else tend to think of them as white cats, but they are really tabbies all over. Cats that are homozygous (S/S) tend to have more white area than cats that are heterozygous (S/s) for white spotting, but there are other modifying genes that can affect the degree of white spotting. www.fanciers.com /other-faqs/color-genetics.html   (3447 words)

Cat Fanciers: Manx: Cat Breed FAQ The Manx is a stocky, solid cat with a dense double coat (long or short), a compact body, very short back, hind legs that are visibly longer than the front legs, big bones, a wide chest, and greater depth of flank (sides of the cat nearest the rear) than other cats. With the passage of centuries and due to the isolation of the cats from outside breeding, the taillessness eventually became a common characteristic among the Isle of Man cats, because the mutated gene is a dominant trait. Unless you plan to breed your cat (and the only reason to do that would be if you have a top show-cat with excellent genes to pass on, and you intend to become a breeder yourself), it would be best to spay or neuter and show in the premier classes altogether. www.fanciers.com /breed-faqs/manx-faq.html   (3997 words)
