No, they were saying that in their experience, the majority of the female FIV cats had been calicos. I don't remember seeing the start of this thread either, but it was either Patti, or MC that made the observation about a shelter/sanctuary situation. It was only an observation. Seems to me

Calico's are notoriously feisty, strong willed and for lack of a better euphemism, leader-oriented. I'd never heard that they were more likely to get FIV, but the personality aspect sure makes sense, (same thing with the orange boys). Very interesting. MC, what's the name of the Calico grou
