[Cats] Saturday's trivia question - part 2

[Jo Anna Dale]

         One intact female (can be calico), and one intact male (any 
color).  As I said before, the calico genes are dominant, and 
practically any litter will have at least one calico.  My dark 
brindle calico mother Eriie had apparently mated with a big orange 
tom - she had two orange male kittens and three mixed calico 
females.  It saeems you have to work very hard at your breeding not 
to have calicos.
