BTW the tabby who has claimed me is a ginger tabby. I'm a well known Calico lover And its not all my fault they see me coming chase after me. "Tortoiseshell and calico coats result from an interaction between genetic and developmental factors. The primary gene for coat color (C) is located on the X Chromosome and has two co-dominant alleles, Orange (XO) and Black (XB), that produce orange phaeomelanin and black eumelanin pigments, respectively.
