Breached by a big, fat, lazy cat! Love the picture and the cat! The pattern on his coat is very cool. Judging by his belly, I'd say his breach effect would be "All players destroy one Food"!

My sincere apologies to Fred. He looks like a fine figure of a tomcat in the new photo!

Isn't that cat female? And you named her Fred?

(Good name. Everything should be named Fred. I'm going to take my Fred to the Fred and do some Fredding.)

I have a friend, named her first dog Ginny, after the Harry Potter character Ginny Weasley. When they got a second dog, they decided to make a tradition of naming all their dogs after siblings from the Weasley family, except that there's only one sister, and this was already the second female dog! They decided to name her Fred, short for Winnifred, (inspired by Winnifred Burke from Angel).

It's a tri-coloured cat. Only females can have 3 colours. Your cat is either an hermaphrodite or has an extra X chromosome (which is possible). Have you taken him to a vet?

Fred is not a tri-coloured cat. He is a false tri-coloured cat. In reality, Fred is a bi-coloured cat. True tri-coloured cats have red as their third colour.

Its not 'Only females', its rare as you say but its not a 'never' situation so having 3 colors doesnt automatically mean its female:

As a cat owner myself, Im pretty sure the OP knows the sex of his cat, males even after being neutered are easily distinguishable.

As a cat owner myself, Im pretty sure the OP knows the sex of his cat, males even after being neutered are easily distinguishable.


Also, the kind of cat coat which is very rare in males would be a tortoiseshell or a calico which all incorporate some orange.

This is just a kind of tabby pattern. (I believe there are three possible patterns.) Anyway, there are plenty of male cats with this combination of white belly and feet with ochre/brown with black stripes running through it.

In fact, I'd say this is one of the most common cat coat types you can get.

I'd say the only unusual thing about this cat's coat is that the black stripes are not as sharp looking as the typical tabby pattern and kind of look like blotches more than stripes in some places.

That's a really interesting read. Although not all calico cats are female, male calicoes are rare and genetically anomalous. (And tri-coloured males can occur for other reasons too.)

Great article. Thanks for showing it to me. Fred is an interesting cat.

Although true, Fred isn't interesting because of his colourization, which is quite common for bi-coloured cats. Fred is interesting because he is a good kitty.

That's not a calico cat. He's just a big tabby. A tabby (male or female) can have six different colors on one hair.

Okay. I am convinced. I've doing a lot of reading on cat colourization and I understand now.

Fred is bi-coloured. He's not a tri-colour because he has no red in him.

At least I've learned something about cat colouring now. I'll edit my previous posts.

Uhoh. I saw this image in the Judging a Game By its Hottest Image Geeklist ( http://www.boardgamegeek.com/geeklist/54101/judging-a-game-b...), and recognised the table and the floor. I then had to come here to check you posted it Terry.

I need to get out more. To somewhere other than yours.

Cheers,

Jack
