Re: Are tabbies always symmetrically marked?


Thanks so much for that link Kay. Like Eileen, I have bookmarked it, but it looks as if all the questions I have in my head about dominant colour, etc. will be answered!

I am frequently reminded by such things and amazed at how wonderful biology is (animal or human).

I expect my OH would draw the line at me wanting to start breeding - but I don't suppose he'd say much about wrinkly peas - maybe that's how Brother Mendel started!!!!
