Guest guest Posted December 21, 2004 Report Share Posted December 21, 2004 CFA calls them calico, TICA calls them torties. Your sisters cat is a tortie and white. The " orange " is the red gene. In the cat fancy the " orange " is called red. Sorry to hear of your loss of Keshia. 14 is a good age, but that doesn't make it any easier. We have 3 cats that are in the age range of 8-10, so I start worrying about them.

Guest guest Posted December 21, 2004 Report Share Posted December 21, 2004 Thanks Kate, yeah, my Vet said that 14 for a purebred is a good age, usually they don't make it that long. Now, the mixed breeds usually live longer. I have Yorkies, Afghans, and birds, so I am not going to get another cat. Now that you mentioned it, I remember what you are saying about Calico and Torties. I do forget things!! Hmmm, wonder why??? Kathy Re: DHEA > > > > > > Is it a calico?
