big booty my ginger female cat

[darkandstormy]

emphasis on the word female apparently it is rare to have a female ginger can anyone tell me more thanks

Rare, but not unknown. No idea of the actual stats, but have known a few ginger girls in my vet nursing career.

it is pretty rare- I think it's something to do with the genes either normally produce a tortoiseshell female or a ginger male, they are very very similar and are linked to the x chromosome.

I was fascinated by this in my teens.

thanks above I have inherited this cat from an old lady.Do not know too much about cats previous life apart from she jumps up door and uses knocker to get in very smart and has eveyone enamoured with her vvv smart. She is such a character

is she definitely a ginger?

I ask because I have a British Cream boy who has very vivid markings - enough for people to ask or assume he is ginger.

Is big booty her name?

not a very old lady stylee name

She sounds v nice.

We had this with my cat, he is a male tortoise shell black with ginger. We were told he HAD to be a girl until the checked him and most definatly a boy.

My aunty had a ginger girl (well, mostly ginger with a white chin, neck and chest). But they are unusual.

So does she have a big booty? My male young (18 month) tabby does too, fat bottomed boy that he is.

yes she really is fully bright ginger she does have a very big booty we are trying to get her weight down my daughter calls her the halloween pumpkin. she has apenchant for fish fingers perhaps cos she is same colour loves chips mayo choccies etc we have to watch her like a hawk she is beautiful tho. as are all cats imo.

It's a sex linked recessive gene carried on the X chromosome. If it's a boy (XY) then the recessive ginger colour shows up, but if it's a girl (XX) then the kitten will only be ginger if she's homozygous (i.e. both her X chromosomes carry the ginger gene). Hence much more chance of ginger boys than girls.

is she microchipped? I would think about getting her done - someone told me they are valuable. my cat got taken and i wish i'd had it chipped - even though it was just an ex farm cat i missed it

thanks all for the info I never knew any of this as we speak big booty is checking out the tomato soup leftovers and licking hot chocolate mugs in between mouthfuls of iams yum....

I've never heard that they were valuable - sorry yours was taken, dreaming.

All cats should be microchipped, of course, but surely someone would need to get a really good look at a cat's bum to be sure it was a rare ginger queen and not a neutered ginger tom? And then what would they be valuable for? Breeding? Again you'd need to know it wasn't spayed.

true. just something i was told. my ginger tom was gorgeous. i'm jealous

Aw

My ginger tom was knocked down and killed. And spookily dd was talking about him today - but called him a girl for the first time ever!

We have a female ginger...Got it at 7 weeks old and called it Milo as were told it was a boy. At 1yr we had a big supprise, litter of kittens and the fact that he was a she!!!

bella so sorry to hear about your ginger boy big booty we acquired to mend my broken heart after my boy cat died in a freak accident. I was devastated his sister cat wasso lonely too hence big booty came on the scene. She is really fearless and feisty she had my little jr terrier in a headlock one day... she is fearless around noisy preschoolers and generally rules the roost . I forgot to add re her colouring she has black freckles on her nose and lips

Oooo - ginger and freckles?

Big Booty sounds absolutely gorgeous!

i love to cuddle a big bootilicious cat

I have one!

Thank you, dark,

Sounds like a very lovely cat

I have a fiesty ginger haired female cat called Gracie. She is mainly ginger with black on her neck, and has a real personality. We have to get her to exercise though as she has a "big booty" as well!

we need photos.

She sounds fab - I have a huge ginger tom. Most def a boy though- in fact he's been sent for neutering twice as he looks and behaves like he hasn't been done

We once looked after a pair of ginger girl kittens. No idea how rare they must have been but every vet who saw them commented.
