I believe it's when the recessive gene for the stripe backround color is also black, thus you have black-on-black. Black panthers, too, are actually leopards with a black backround. | |||

I'm not sure about the black cats thing. I live with 3 of them. And I spend way too much time watching and petting them. I do know that the daughter black longhair isn't really black, she's a dark red. When the sun shines on her, you see the red glow. But no stripes. Unhappy ammo seeker | |||

I know this is fundamentally unfair, but it's much more important to sterilize the females. If you sterilize a female and miss a male, there are a lot or kittens that aren't going to be born. If you sterilize a male and miss a female, there's always another male somewhere who'll do the job. It only takes one to knock up all the females in an area. And you'll never get all the males.

Strange. I've had two blackies, and you could defintitely see the stripes in the right light. Maybe there's another gene mode for making all black cats, I wouldn't know. But Google it, it's a real phenomenon. EDIT: OK, here we go from the bastion of informality, Wikipedia: "Most solid colored cats result from a recessive gene that suppresses the tabby pattern. Sometimes the tabby pattern is not completely suppressed; faint markings may appear in certain lights, even on a solid black cat." So most. Black Cats | |||

For real? |
My 3 black cats look like solid black, but when they're sunning themselves on the deck, you can see a faint pattern. Rocky update: Got him to the vet yesterday. Approximately 6 weeks old. No ear mites but has a trace of mange. Definitely has worms which I saw. Inside of his ears were covered in motor oil so he was probably hiding in cars. Still a little shaky since he probably hasn't eaten in awhile before I got him. Vet says he should be fine. I just have to fatten him up a little. No problems there.  Not minority enough! | |||

You know what cats really love? Whipped cream, like Redi-Whip. Just test it, it might give them the runs. Not a problem with my cats. They await bed time when I give them a shot on a paper plate. Unhappy ammo seeker | |||

Hey Chowser, From time to time, I used to party with some Euclid cops at OPOTA and OSHP Academy. They almost always got booted out of the course before it was over. Do you confirm or deny any knowledge of such activity? Oh...Ketteh has a great pair of ears. End of Earth: 2 Miles Upper Peninsula: 4 Miles | |||
