@lamecarlate wow, that's super interesting!
(Naturally I had to go track down pictures of the original cat, she's an adorable chonker!)
Button was recently at a vet and they made a comment about how "nice she was for a Calico cat" and I'd never heard that people think Calicos are loud and rude before that! Button is just so shy and timid, that's why they thought she was nice 😂
(she is VERY LOUD though when it's just us she's around)
My favorite #CatFact on this beautiful #Caturday is that most calico cats are female! The regions of different colors are due to different X chromosomes being "turned on" for the fur color (at least that's how I understand it in my poor grasp of genetics)
So if you see a rare male calico, chances are it has XXY chromosomes, not XY.
@joelpedersenarts hi!! 👋
I've seen some other people say follower imports have been slow (especially from the big servers)
So let's see how this site does. 😃
I am looking for two PhD students to study the evolution of hot rocky exoplanets at the Kapteyn Astronomical Institute of the University of Groningen, The Netherlands, with a focus on magma ocean interiors and atmospheres. 🌍🌋🔭 Application deadline is 1st December. Details at: https://formingworlds.space/post/phd-positions-october-2022. Please boost. 🙂 #exoplanets #Astrodon #astronomy #phd
