Foster Cat Journal: 1 in 7,000,000
Wed, 2009-12-02 09:19 — Robin Olson
This is my foster baby, Gingerbread.
Yesterday, she went to our Vet to be spayed.
Although a Vet and a Vet Tech in GA gave her an exam and wrote up a Health Certificate for transport, they missed something about this cute little Calico.
SHE'S A HE!
Apparently, our Vet was, to say the least, a bit surprised when he was about to perform the spay and noticed Gingerbread was a boy. The odds of tri-colored cat being a male are 1:7,000,000!!!
Looks like my dreams of winning the Lottery were a bit off target, but heck, I'll take it!

how cool!
i knew most tri-colors were female, but i had no idea the ratio was so high (low?)!! and what a beautiful, i mean handsome boy! ;)
I think "Gingerbread" works
I think "Gingerbread" works as well for a boy as it does for a girl. Great name.
Handsome and unique!
This gorgeous kitten is a statistician's dream - the odds of a tri-color cat being male *and* being rescued from a GA kill shelter must be even longer. Maybe you should get him to choose your lottery numbers before he is adopted!
He or she is no matter - that
He or she is no matter - that is one adorable kitteh!
What a cutie either way!
Well, Gingerbread isn't too bad for a boy - maybe not perfect but better then something super-girly. Either way, he is a total cutie!
lol....
I would run out and IMMEDIATELY buy a lottery ticket...make sure you take Gingerbread with you to ensure good luck... BTW--he is adorable :)
A book recommendation...
Cats Are Not Peas: A Calico History of Genetics, by Laura Gould, inspired the author's experience of adopting a male calico from a shelter.
now you have to rename HIM
Maybe you can name him Kris Kringle!
Too bad....
Too bad - I was ready to re-name her Marsha.....
Never a dull moment Robin - hang in there & c you on Sat - Diana
