Coat color on cats is sex linked. Sexy cats have... No, never mind. The coat color gene is carried on the X chromosome. For anyone whose parents didn't let them take biology in high school, females are XX, males XY. Calico cats get their coat color when they have two X genes carrying the orange coat color chromosome. Shouldn't they be orange then? Nope, because in the case of two O for orange genes, something called mosaic inheritance comes into play - the fur will be orange, white, and shades in between, giving the classic calico coat. Since a male can only one X and, therefore one O gene, a male cat will never display the mosaic calico pattern EXCEPT if he is a highly unusual XXY male which can occur but the odds are something like 1 in a thousand.
By the way, Wolf, just because your Israeli friend considers cats vermin doesn't mean that cats did not originate in the Middle East. The cats probably consider her and the other humans there illegal immigrants from Africa and, thus, vermin, as well. I'm not fond of pack rats. Doesn't mean that they didn't evolve in the Southwest. End of science lesson. Quiz on Friday. |

YES to the barbs on the penis. The female is yelling for a very good reason. (Well, she's liking it too) But don't assume they are like fishhooks, ask your vet for a picture
As for all calico cats being female, it depends on what you mean by CALICO

Only 3% of calico's are male. The males (Toms) have barbs on their penii to stimulate the female (Queens) to ovulate at the exact time of ejaculation thus ensuring a kitten will indeed result. A Queen will conceive with every single act of copulation! That is why one Momma cat will have such a variety of kittens. Pure black, calico, white, orange, tabby's.....on and on. Every Tom she takes on will score a kitten!

i clicked on this and then i thought...AUGH! what the hell are you doing????????????? it's time to update my resume. when you're following cat penis spine links instead of giving it up and getting back to work, it's time to look for a more challenging jobs. it's these blinding flashes of the obvious that really muck up my day.

I always wondered about the cat penis thing myself. It seems to me that it would be a very bad idea to have spines in such a location. But there are, so it must actually be a good idea. There certainly are a lot of cats around.
Anyway, I wondered about it the few times I heard about it in the past, but never found myself sitting in front of Google when it came up. This time I was. I honestly think you are a better person for having clicked on that link. You had a quest for knowledge. You learned something. And you were able to save time gaining that knowledge because someone else posted the link for you. Sure, on the surface, clicking links to pictures of cat penises sounds bad. But it's really not. You are a student of life, trying to learn as much about the world around you that you can. You should embrace a job that lets you do that. Slacker. |

Well, I didn't believe the person that orginally told me either so don't feel bad. It is just hard to believe that there would be barbs on any creature's penii, I mean, isn't copulation supposed to be fun?

no... copulation is 'posed to make babies. "fun" is just the bait on the hook so to speak. and the barbs help seal the deal.
I have often wondered about what it's supposed to be and what the motivations for it are.

I'm frankly surprised that some adult toy company hasn't come up with a version of this for extreme bondage play.
