Description

This week in honor of the sexy number 69, we talk about the dirty details of cat genetics! Join us as we learn why a tabby is a tabby and not a tortie. Did your calico eat their sibling in the womb? How can I just have a plain spooky black cat? Learn this and more as Danielle tries to explain genetics with no visual references!
