Shigwa is a girl kitty. :) I left Koko at the vet's yesterday. They agreed to take him and seemed happy to have him. I am sure they will find him a really good home. They are good people. When you look at a kitty and it has more than one color on it like Shigwa, it is a calico and they are almost always female. Calicos are tri-colors with white, and tortoise shell is a tri-color without white. Both are usually female as it is gender linked. The few times there have been males born like that they have been unable to breed or have had other problems with them. Kitty genetics are interresting to me.
