Most of my Journaling now is currently on Facebook. These are old and my ICN Patient story is very old and outdated. -
She IS beautiful! I love calicos.Comment

It's funny when I look at her now. When she first came she was a little on the wild side and I never dreamed 3 months later she would be in the house. Never in my life would I have thought I would have a pet cat but I guess we were meant to be together for some reason. Animals sure do have a way of getting attached to them huh? All it takes is one look and poof your hooked for life.Comment

So she is a calico?? I had no idea what kind of cat she is. I'll have to try and post Garfield's picture. He was actually the better looking cat. He was fluffy and white/orange and stubby tail. Maybe you can tell me what kind he was too after I post it? Thanks for letting me know what kind she is. Wonder why anyone would throw her out? She is really well behaved and loves to try and trip me by walking under my feet.
I'm not used to that yet.

She certainly looks like a calico to me. The picture is REALLY small on my computer. In any case its calico markings. (also called tortie). She may be a mutt-cat of course but she has calico markings. Is she a long hair or short hair? Calicos are typically short haired. I love the tri-colored markings!
Now if only I can figure how to post a Ruby picture, and you can check out what a siberian looks like... looks really different, I can tell you!Comment

She is pretty. Watch out she is taken over.
Sending hugs, TrishannComment

I guess you would say it is short haired. Her hair is long enough to shed all over the bottom of my pants when seh rubs up against me. Garfield had longer hair. Hope you can get the picture of Ruby posted. Would be nice to see her. Maybe I can figure out how to post a bigger one of the other pics I have of her.

Someone told me that all calico cats are female.......does anyone know if that is true or was that person pulling my leg???Miss Bessie
Galatians 6:2 - Carry each other's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.
Hebrews 13:2 - Do not forget to entertain strangers, for by doing so some people have entertained angels without knowing it.
Proverbs 4:23 - Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of lifeComment

It is sorta true. A true calico has conflicting coat coloring genes on the two X chromosomes that she has. That said, there is a small genetic possibility that can cause it in a male but he will always be impotent.Comment

Awe! She's a cutie! I love her colors. I think that one of my outside cats had kittens today! I'm going to have to go on a hunt for them tomorrow. Wanted to let her inside to have them, but that didn't go over very well-with Mike or the Dog & Tiger-lol!Comment

meme, how could you tell your cat was going to have kittens? When I rub Patches tummy I started feeling little bumps spaced so far apart on each side. Pretty sure they are nipples?? Oh my, I am just learning about cats and she is going to send me off to loonieville taking care of kittens. Have noticed she is hanging sort of in her tummy towards her legs but she is still climbing all over and jumping. Can they do that with kittens on the way? I'm crossing my fingers I am just imagining all of this.
