Two years of lurking; I finally decided to become an official imgurian! To those interested in nudes of me: http://i.imgur.com/3sNPQvV.gif Happily taken by my lurker for the last 13 years. http://i.imgur.com/scGjXmO.jpg Now, let us begin at the beginning... http://imgur.com/gallery/s2Z03

@rentdownstairs wanted to have an heirloom crib for his family, and I think that's pretty fucking cool.
I was going to say that looks very tasty, but then I looked closer, and I am rescinding my initial feelings.
Getting laid, my dear.
The post was deleted, what was it of?
Aside from the in-law with claws~
CJD sounds close to "Creutzfeldt jack off" bc of how Jakob is said (ˈjækɒb). He doesn't mean to pry ("prion", the disease causing agent).
The name of the disease (a prion disease thatcauses conformational change in brain proteins) is called creutzfeldt-jakob disease. (1)
I wish I could give you more upvotes, you darling little wordsmith, you.
Not unless you want nicotine poisoning.
Same here ): I rubbed peanut butter on them once. It did not work. It took gaining & losing the freshman 15 for anything to happen.
Oh you~
XXY males have 2 Xs & due to X inactivation, only 1 can be "on" in a cell. The "off" X forms a Barr body, the other expresses coat color.
Well, most kitties are made when a mama cat is in heat & a papa cat helps her out. This guy can't make babies though, because he's a mutant.
He's an XXY male (Klinefelter's syndrome), so he can have Barr bodies that give him the patterns. http://messybeast.com/mosaicism3.htm
If he's a pet, let's hope he's not breeding anyways. Being infertile doesn't hurt them, though they can have health issues.
I'm not a vet, but I studied lots of genetics in college (I hope to go for my masters in genetic counseling someday). Glad you liked it! :)
Klinefelter's syndrome cats are infertile, just like Klinefelter's syndrome humans. So he can have sex, but no kitties will be produced.
But this little guy can because he's got two X chromosomes! Hooray! (end~)
Male cats typically aren't calicos because they one have one X, and therefore no Barr bodies to create the hallmark pattern. (4)
Because only one X chromosome can be activated at one time a calico cat has genes for orange fur on one X and black on the other. (3)
Calicos are typically only female because the genetics behind the blotch or tortoise pattern results from Barr bodies. (2)
This cat has what is essentially a cat version of Klinefelter's syndrome (XXY sex chromosomes) that allow it to be a calico. (1)
