Please do not put your cats litter outside. Instead place your laundry outside.

We have also seen people on posts mention sprinkling or trailing kitty litter… this is the most dangerous idea I ever heard and not only that but if you have done that we can not use search dogs for your case. This includes the trailing of any vaccume contents or bedding that I’ve seen suggested.

Tortoiseshell cats, sometimes called ‘torties’, are known for their uniquely beautiful multi-coloured coats. 😻 Tortoiseshell isn’t actually a breed, it’s a coat pattern, just like tabby. 🐈

The science behind the ‘shell 👇

🧬 Tortoiseshells have not one, but two co-dominant colour genes (black and orange) working together to make the unique coat patterns.

🧬 Most tortoiseshell cats are females because it’s the two X chromosomes that carry the genetic information for coat colour. The Y chromosome that males have, doesn’t impact on their coat colour. But sometimes a male cat can be born with XXY chromosomes, making it possible but unusual for a tortoiseshell coat!
