"Jofirey" "---MIKE---" The Martha Stewart show on Monday, Jan. 11 is going to be all about cats. I don't care for Martha, but she does have some really lovely cats. So thanks for the heads up. Jo Darn it, I missed it I don't like Martha either but.. Do you ever watch the TV show on Sat called Cats 101? It's either on The History Channel or The Learning Channel and it is so funny. I learned, for instance, how the Maine Coon got to be here G Love, Kyla |

Do you ever watch the TV show on Sat called Cats 101? It's either on The History Channel or The Learning Channel and it is so funny. I learned, for instance, how the Maine Coon got to be here G There were some lovely cats on the show. Many audience members brought their cats to the show as well. One really lovely BIG Maine coon boy. As well as an orange tom that gave the resident vet a really hard time. They said he was available (the orange cat) to anyone that wanted to take him. It bothered me that Martha's two newest cats are as I understood it a new type of calico dominant Persian. Yes they were pretty and interesting. Now I appreciate purebred livestock and companion animals, really I do. But as I understand it, calico's are the result of a slight genetic defect and will only show up on female cats. Do we really want or need another new breed, especially one based on a genetic flaw and where only one sex of kitten is likely to be of any value? Jo |

I think I've seen all of them (there are 3 or 4 one-hour shows on this subject). I loved the section on the Egyptian Mau. What a cutie! The cat featured was a show cat who was about to do a timed obstacle run, but instead of beginning the race, she was wandering around, rubbing up against stuff or rolling on the floor, etc. Her human trainer kept saying, "Lola..." (I think that was her name), "Come on, Lola, time to run the course..." Eventually she gave up trying to get the kitty to run the race. She had a good sense of humor about it, and said something like, "You know what it is? I think she's decided to retire, she just didn't send me the memo." (Oh, I remember now - the cat's name was *Anya*. Yes, I've seen this segment more than once. ) Jofirey wrote: But as I understand it, calico's are the result of a slight genetic defect and will only show up on female cats. Do we really want or need another new breed, especially one based on a genetic flaw and where only one sex of kitten is likely to be of any value? Is this actually a flaw? I thought it was just that the orange and black genes are on the the X chromosome, so in order to have both, a cat has to have two X's, hence it's a female-only characteristic. I think that's normal, not a mutation. On the other hand, a male calico/tortie would have to be an XXY, which *is* a flaw. Is that what you're thinking of? Agreed on the issue of only one sex being of value, though! Joyce -- There are 10 kinds of people in the world: those who understand binary and those who don't. |
