Tricolor cat proves to be an anomaly

"It wasn't until they were ready to spay Phinny that they found out he needed neutering instead. And that's how he got his name.

Phinny, you see, is a male tortoiseshell, a tricolor cat. He's not quite the missing link in the cat world, but is undoubtedly a rare quirk of nature, for reasons of genetics.

“In my 15 years of working with animals, this is the first live male tortoiseshell that I've ever seen,” said Staci Fitzgerald, the society's director of animal care. “He's absolutely striking, a real genetic anomaly. "

Did you see this comment from someone unclear on a few concepts?

This cat is a creation from God. You heartless, uneducated people leaving lame comments about eating or throwing this cat over the bridge....you all should of been aborted by your mother!


Either that or they were failing at funny.

The comments were hilarious. The one "a cat this rare, you don't eat all at once!" is a ripoff of the Three Legged Pig joke.

And a damned funny one. :)

We have two female torties, except Darcy, the maine coon mix, is weird - she is female, was spayed etc, but has a lot of male personality, even "sprays" (no spray, just assumes the position and quivers.)
