I was thinking about some raw fish or something like that, he seems to really like salmon. Any suggestions or things to watch out for?

    Maybe you’re thinking tabby? Brown tabbies are often referred to as the “standard issue cat”, and are commonly found as both XX and XY cats. Torties are black/brown and orange, and their coloring is the result of having one X chromosome for black/brown, and a second one for orange.

    My apologies, I just find their genetics so fascinating!

      Definitely not. He’s got that brindle coat with black, light brown and tannish orange. (No white, though.)

      My understanding currently is either he has XXY chromosomes, or is a chimera. I’m also fascinated by the genetics, so don’t apologize.
