One of the few female cats that I owned was a calico cat I 
called "Miss Kitty."  At the same time, I owned a male cat (a 
gray striped tabby) called Straps.  When Miss Kitty had kittens, 
they were always various colors.  Her last litter had two 
calico, two yellow tabbies, and a gray tabby.  What was going on 
there?
