Cat napping

[David Strieb]

Caught a neighbors cat soaking up some sun on my P10. 20 degrees here in the pacific northwest this morning.

Thanks for posting. At least she was not on any paintwork. I say she as all tortoise shell/calico cats are female. Favourite cat I ever had was a tortoise shell. Great big, fat, old cat we called Moppet. She had the sweetest disposition and lived to be 20!

There are male calico cats but they are very rare and worth a lot of $$$.

Thanks Niel,  I learned something today............there are male calicos but as you mentioned, they are rare. Also from Wikipedia "Because genetic determination of some coat colors in cats is linked to the X chromosome, calicoes are nearly always female.^[ Because of the genetics involved, calico males are rare, and generally have impaired vitality and are almost always sterile."

 

I love Off Topic. Also, notice the cat is on the running board so gets some nice heat from both it and the body of the car. Cats love the warmth.

I picture her jumping on the running board, grabbing the window frame and yelling "Follow that car"!

Ahh.  Snoozing on running boards, not just for getting in and out of your car......
