🧡 Ever notice most orange cats are boys?

Stanford researchers recently discovered the reason why — and it’s hidden in their DNA.

The gene for that bright orange coat sits on the X chromosome.
-Males only have one X, so one copy of the gene turns them orange.
-Females have two Xs, so they need the gene on both to get that same coat. That’s why orange girls are harder to find!
-If a female only gets one copy, her coat becomes a mix of orange and another color — the classic calico or tortoiseshell.

The study also found something brand new: a gene called Arhgap36 plays a role in cat coloring, even though it doesn’t affect coat color in any other animal we know of. It turns on in pigment-producing cells in a way scientists hadn’t seen before.

And while orange cats are famous for their bold personalities, researchers say the gene only affects color — not behavior.

Happy Halloween from our ghouls and goblins to yours! 🎃

Día de los Mu***os, or Day of the Dead, is a beautiful Mexican tradition that celebrates the lives of loved ones who have passed. It’s not about mourning—it’s about remembrance, joy, and welcoming their spirits back home for a brief visit.

While November 1 and 2 are dedicated to our human family members, October 27 holds a special place for our pets. On this day, many believe the spirits of our beloved animals return first, guiding the way for others to follow. It’s a time to pause and honor the unconditional love and companionship they gave us.

In Mexican tradition, animals have always held a sacred role. The Xoloitzcuintli, or Xolo (a hairless dog native to Mexico) was believed by the Aztecs to guide souls safely through the underworld. Today, the Xolo still represents the enduring bond between humans and their furry (or hairless in the case of the Xolo) family members.

Families often create ofrendas—altars decorated with photos, marigold flowers, candles, and favorite things their pets loved in life. You might include a collar, toy, treat, or blanket, along with a small bowl of water to refresh their spirit after their journey.

If you want to celebrate this tradition, take a few quiet moments to remember your pet by share stories, lighting a candle, or even building a small altar at home. Whether you keep it simple or make it colorful and elaborate, what matters most is the love behind it.

At Peaceful Pets, we know pets are family, and their memory deserves to be celebrated. This Día de los Mu***os, we invite you to join us in honoring those furry friends who left pawprints on our hearts forever. 💜

🩷 We are sharing a heartfelt note from one of our families about their experience with our team. We’re deeply grateful for their kind words and for allowing us to walk alongside them through such an important time.
______________________
Making a Family decision to euthanize your loved pet is never an easy one. Dr. Yamamoto and her extraordinary staff will comfort and guide you through a very difficult process accurately and seamlessly. Understanding our selfish requirements and putting our pet's well being can sometimes be a conflicting process and decision. Dr. Yamamoto and her well trained and sympathetic staff, will not only help you see the situation through your pet's eyes, but yours as well. They are very professional, sympathetic and grounded and although it is a deeply sad decision to euthanize your pet, they provide such a comfortable and loving environment that will put your pet at ease, along with the family. I can't say enough about Dr. Yamamoto, Kyra and Sunnie whom we've communicated with for over three months for updates and check ins. They are truly a caring, sympathetic and loving team that I wish more people in this world would mirror. Although we will miss Marcy a great deal, I feel relieved that she is in a much better place, pain free and that the team that she was with in her last moments were very comforting and made her final journey home peaceful....

On this Memorial Monday, we remember sweet Cooper, who crossed the rainbow bridge on August 29, 2025
___________________________

Cooper gave our family the best 14 years. He was so loyal to us and just wanted to be surrounded by our love. Lying in the sun or by the fireplace were his favorite activities. Our family misses him tremendously and we are grateful for all the memories. Cooper will always be part of our story and in our hearts.

❤️ The Jensen Family (Adam, Hailey, Jordan, Jasper, Jaimin, and Collin)
