Cat sunning on roof of truck when hawk/eagle grabs and carries off. My friend said he could see his cat fighting the bird as they flew over the trees. He camped a few more days and his wife was ready to leave, but he insisted on staying "just another few days". Sure enough, here comes the cat, somewhat the worse for wear, which he promptly took to the nearest vet and re-named Secret. This cat would sit in the room and size you up in a very cool and detached sort of way and then, if he thought you were cool, he would come over and say "Hi!". One of the coolest cats I ever knew.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22183958.post-64192015656157844202008-05-27T16:04:00.000-04:002008-05-27T16:04:00.000-04:00Phil, most orange cats are male.

I’d like to tell you that my hilariously funny book, The World Is Your Litter Box, is in bookstores now and is also available on Amazon. The book is cleverly disguised as a cute cat book so humans will buy it, but is, in fact, a how-to manual FOR cats. Check it out on my website, www.theworldisyourlitterbox.comQuasihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12581009403955438584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22183958.post-61105397500018103402008-05-25T18:59:00.000-04:002008-05-25T18:59:00.000-04:00Awww.

The coloration is a result of some pretty fancy/weird biology that's quite interesting, it's called a an x-linked Mosaic. <BR/><BR/>Can't look at a tortoiseshell or calico without thinking about it now. <BR/><BR/>for those feeling geeky, an explanation: http://www.vivo.colostate.edu/hbooks/genetics/medgen/chromo/mosaics.html<BR/><BR/>ps: You can get male calico, but it's so rare that statistically it's probably proper to say all calicoes are female.<BR/>BpBpaulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10009087847894914228noreply@blogger.com
