Wow, lots of people playing!  And the lynx point comments do make much sense, I had just never really sat down to consider them.  Most of the "lynx points" I have seen in real life have all been the same color, so I hadn't realized there were others XD

I will definitely keep that in mind as options for the speedy Franken later on.  Also, I apologize for not coming back last night - husband came home early, and wanted to play his game for a bit.  And this morning, I overslept XD  Then had an escapee when feeding the chickens, so had to spend more time trying to catch her.  Luckily, she was cooperative this time >.>

Okay - list of current participants.  feel free to keep adding forms, if you have not joined in yet, your name will be added to the list for the later frankens.  I will make one or two, then take a break for a bit.  Gotta do stuff around the house, but I didn't want to make you all wait too long!

reason #1 I don't live anywhere we can keep chickens
that and birds creep me out

[springacres]

Also, just so people are aware - male tortoiseshell/calico cats are very rare and always sterile.  Since this is a franken I imagine it won't make much difference, but I thought I should mention it for any tag-it/custom plotting.

[TheCattery]

Oh, there will be no male calicos from Frankens, and I am unsure if I will allow them for customs/tags.  I haven't decided on that yet.  They are almost always sterile, actually.  There are a very, very rare few who aren't...

[Keilin Alyr]

Not necessarily always sterile, but non-sterile male torties/calicos are incredibly rare, and the theories behind them border on surreal. At least I think so.

I'll spare the explanation on male torties/calicos (unless someone actually is interested...), but some of the theories I've seen on the fertile males include multi-line cell division or two kitten embryos fusing in the womb to become one kitten. Seriously bizarre stuff. =)

[Ryuukokoro]

Lol. You can just say that since the gene for male and the gene for calico aren't compatible, whenever there's a male calico it's genes are all messed up.


Eeee chickens!!!! Ryuu looooves chickens so so much. I wish I had a farm so I could have them. *wiggle*

[Keilin Alyr]

The genetics for cat coloration are actually linked to the sex chromosomes. And here I'll lose just about everyone, except for biology experts who will pick apart my explanation and tell me I'm mostly wrong. XD

To explain why most male calicos are sterile, the gene for red fur coloration is linked to the X chromosome, and I've seen this noted as Xo. A female red cat is XoXo. A male red cat is XoY. A female tortoiseshell/calico is usually noted as XoX (from my understanding it's actually XoXb, since black is also linked, but let's not make this even more complicated).

Most of the time, a male tortie/calico has to be XoXY to show tortie or calico patterning, shortened to XXY, which would only happen if the cells linked to the sex chromosomes divided incorrectly. XXY males are almost always sterile.

[SeaCrest]

I think you're right. I may be wrong too XD

Makes sense to me. Sort of.

I am not done with the Frankens, but my husband has requested a couple of crochet/knit projects for a care package for some of his buddies on deployment, and they need to be done by next Friday.  So while I work on those, I am going to run a contest or two.  The first one is already posted, see the post below the Franken rules.  I will post the next contest some time this weekend, or the beginning of next week.

Frankens will continue either next Friday, or as soon as I finish these projects.
