I've tried this conferences keywords and I'm not a regular reader or contributor...so I'll just ask the question: Is there something special about a three colored, non sterile male cat sometimes called a "money cat". This discussion came up recently and I never heard of this but, as I explained to those present, I knew where I could ask 10,000 people..... the notesfiles... I had to explain notes... to the wonderment of all and all were non-Deccies. Thanks, Jim

A three colored male cat is rare, but the cat should have Black, Orange and White. Most of the time when a male cat has black and orange or blue and cream, it is sterile. I have only seen one tri-colored male, and that one was a kitten. Too early to tell if it was going to "pack a loaded gun" or not! cin | |||||

If I understand this correctly, the only way you get a calico male is if you have an XXY chromosome combination rather than the XX for female or XY for male. That is why a male calico is virtually always sterile. Nancy |
