Question

My family has an orange and white female cat, which is uncommon. Please describe her possible inheritance. (You may need to research this!)

Answer 1

That orange and white cat next door could be an American Bobtail, a Persian, a Munchkin or even a Maine Coon! Their orange color comes from a predominance of a pigment called pheomelanin. This is the same pigment that makes some humans “redheads”.
