'-I . .- 386-362-1734 Dear Classified Guys, Not long ago I found an ad in the classified where someone was giv- ing away free kittens. I decided to go look since I had a cat growing up and loved the idea of getting one again. I must admit at three weeks old, they were all very cute. One was tan and orange like a tiger, another was white with black patches like a cow. There was one that was all black with white paws who looked like it was wearing a tuxedo. After playing with them all, I settled on one that was all white, -. and called it Casper like the --.j ghost. The funny thing was --- that I was told the mother was a purebred American Shorthair and the father was just a neighbor's house pet that got loose. How is it possible for all the cats from this lit- ter to have such unique coloring? Neither myself nor the person giving them away really had any answers. Can you help shed some light? Carry: Cats are similar to people in many ways. In addition to the fact that many of us would like to sleep all day in the sun, we both come in all shapes, sizes and colors. Cash: For cats, the color of their fur, eyes or even nails makes them unique. ( Duane "Cas & Todd Although there is some consistency within a breed, their coloring is a func- tion of their genetic makeup. Carry: Pedigreed American Shorthair cats naturally come in a vari- ety of colors and patterns. However, true pedigrees should produce kittens with the same physical characteristics as the parents. Once they mate with a mixed breed, like the neighbor's cat, you never know what will happen. Cash: Those fun fur colors that you see are determined by the density of melanin in the cat's hair. As the density changes, it reflects more or less light, changing the appearance of the hair color. 6I h" Holze "Carry" Holze A - 07/20/08 @2008 The Classified Guyss Carry: Some cats get lucky and look like they're wearing a tuxedo. Others get stuck looking like a cow! Cash: Much like the hair color, the temperament of the cat is inherited from the parents as well. So it's wise to play with each cat to see which one is a good match for you. Carry: American Shorthairs,, whether purebred or not, make great pets and are among the top ten most popular breeds. They are well known for their good looks, strong health and friendliness with children and dogs. Cash: So with any luck, both you and Casper should be basking in the sun in no time. Purr-fect American Shorthairs have always been one of the most popular breeds among cat owners. Not surprisingly, they have a very long history in the United States. It's believed that several Shorthaired cats arrived in America on the Mayflower with the Pilgrims. They allegedly snuck onto the ship, but were quickly embraced for keeping the rodents on board under control. Later when the Pilgrims settled onto farms, the cats were once again welcomed for managing the rodent population. To Dye For? Could genetics soon make blonde jokes a thing of the past? An alleged study published in September 2002 claimed that naturally blonde-haired people might one day be extinct. Blonde hair is a result of a recessive gene that must be present in both sides of the family. However, as people of various hair colors reproduce, the gene becomes less prevalent. Experts agree that the proportion of natural blondes may diminish, but also agree that there is no truth to the supposed study. Just in case though, maybe everyone should brush up on their brunette jokes. Got a question or funny story?

Although she's had her cat for years, she explangd ha she was becoming more and more fond of the dog. ' When she called to the animals, the dog came running and sat on the sofa next to us. The cat. on the other % hand., hlfted its head to look at us anu then Went back tq sleeping on the window sill. "Is that xvwh you favor the dog?" I joked. "Kind of," she explained. "At least j the dog comes % hen I call The cat seems to put me on hold and check its schedule"' (Thanks to Rena S.) Most "cats" would object to this typo:.
