    why male cats getting abscesses by tail base?

    Its a recurring thing in my part of town. I help my neighbors with TNR and we have noticed recently a few males all showing up with abscesses by their tail base. I read online that its common for young males to get bite wounds there because of mature males defending territory and they try to...

    do blue/grey cats coats color provide any advantages in the wild?

    You all make very good points. I was thinking maybe the blue/grey coat color has an advantage at night just like black cats. If some areas are not dark enough maybe a black cat would stick out like a sore thumb but a grey cat would maybe blend in perfectly because grey is light but can get...

    brown mackerel torbie. would father be orange tabby or brown mackerel tabby?

    In an area where I have been helping some friends who do "TNR" there is a black and white mother who has 3 brown mackerel tabby kittens, 1 black and white kitten, and a brown mackerel torbie. All the tabbies have white one feet and chest as well as the torbie. The torbie at first looks exactly...

    possible genetic backround of black smoke and grey and white black smoke cats?

    Maybe these pics of the father of my 2 boys will help. I wonder if he was a Russian Blue stray...? Can anyone tell if there is anything about the father that would lead to his kittens being smokes or resemble smokes? Or do u guys think it just happened at random? Thanks
