Wonderful description with info on kitten sexing. :) <br /><br />Now you have me wondering just what the percentage of hermaphrodites is in various species, including humans.<br /><br />Anyone up for a little research?Donegal Brownehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09809720759418462703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27276563.post-70798273023815826472012-11-12T17:40:33.527-05:002012-11-12T17:40:33.527-05:00I agree, male.

But I had a friend who had a hermaphrodite cat. THAT was interesting. Vet opened her up to spay, no uterus, but no male genitalia either. Very unusual to have such a birth defect in a cat.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27276563.post-63313443206098769462012-11-11T14:53:18.897-05:002012-11-11T14:53:18.897-05:00I thhink we took the wrong approach on Prop 37--al...I thhink we took the wrong approach on Prop 37--all the folks involved thought it would pass easily--after all this is California! However Monsanto and Big Ag poured probably close to $50 million into scaring people about food prices and the usual BS that it was poorly worded.<br />Right to know what is in our food is important the FDA labeling law accknowledges that. But GM is much much more than health--social, environmental and economic. We already know those costs. Monsanto has a Mission statement that they want to control 95% of the world's seeds by 2020 and they are well on their way--purchasing distressed small seed companies and dicontinuing Hierloom seeds.Comstoc and Ferre--the oldest operating seed company in the US (Conn.) recently went on the chopping block and was purchased by the fabulous Baker Seeds--thanks to a great seedsman--Jere Gettle.<br />BTW--a place where we bird has a pond and we have counted 12 Black Crowned Night Herons--so beautiful--many of them are juveniles<br />Betty JoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27276563.post-30764599672219956142012-11-11T01:27:26.315-05:002012-11-11T01:27:26.315-05:00I saw the list of companies that funded the agains...I saw the list of companies that funded the against Prop 37 ads. This is not complete: Monsanto, General Mills, Conagra, Cargill, Pepsico, Kraft, Coke, Post, Unilever, Ocean Spray, Nestle, Campbell Soup, Land O'Lakes, Dupont, Hershey's.<br /><br /><br />Ocean Spray! Unbelievable. I guess I'm going to have to hope my lingonberry plants hurry up and produce berries. And I'm switching from Campbell's soups to Amy's.<br />Karen Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13306986336556283751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27276563.post-48396149105257405592012-11-10T22:18:25.213-05:002012-11-10T22:18:25.213-05:00Betty Jo,

From previous experience with adult female cats, they're much happier when a male cat is introduced to their domain when another female arrives on the scene. Yes, Pywackit is still the Queen of the House and so far hasn't had any interaction with Cardiac. We're waiting for an introduction until Cardiac gets a clean bill of health. Which did not happen today after all as the vet had a farm emergency he had to attend to.<br /><br />I hadn't heard that Prop 37 lost. That's bad for California and bad for the rest of us as well. As you well know, we have no way of knowing how those genetically modified foods will affect people down the line. People should at least be allowed the labeling information so they can choose for themselves. It's a shame that once more, big corporate money isn't allowing us to make our own decisions.Donegal Brownehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09809720759418462703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27276563.post-23638683207351164662012-11-10T10:47:44.602-05:002012-11-10T10:47:44.602-05:00Donna, I vote for male--my daughter got a black ki...Donna, I vote for male--my daughter got a black kitten, told by the owner than it was female--my daughter the long time vet tech believed her and named the cat Cassie. I was playing with her and immediately said--"this cat is a male"! No no Mom--females look like that--the cat's name was changed to Cassio! However, for the baby just learning to talk Cassie is much easier to say--so "he" is still Cassie.<br />Is Pyewacket still on the scene? I do hope so. Our electiojn went a little bad here in California--we lost big on Prop 37--to Label GM foods. Monsonto and Dow poured MILLIONS into a deceptive campaign. We are a big ag state and big Ag famers were really against it.<br />Betty Jo in CAliforniaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
