It's always been MY standard policy to do a full physical exam before a procedure, notably a spay or neuter.
When it comes to calico or tortoiseshell cats, this is sometimes overlooked. That's because this color pattern is sex linked in its inheritance pattern and almost (key word) all cats are exclusively female.
I've always checked, though, hoping for a male cat. I have not found one but apparently there was one here:
Surprise!
aren't those X and Y Chromosomes interesting? I love playing inherited traits games with students!!
