Yes, Nina, I was saying in our shelter, the majority of the FIV cats ARE
male, but with the female positives, most of them ARE calicos.
And, second to the female calico FIV+s, are the solid black females
(FIV+).
Just an observation at our shelter
Never really thought about "color
Now that I think of it,the Fiv cats at our shelter are all males but 2 are females and they are Calicos too. Sherry[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Yes, Nina, I was saying in our shelter, the majority of the FIV cats ARE male, but with the female positives, most of them ARE calicos. And, second to
Got it! I missed the male/female part. I knew my own fiv was a black male, and have only dealt with a few others through the shelter. They were all black males. BIG, intact males with lots of battle scars too.t[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Yes, Nina, I was saying in our shelter, the

Meaning, the majority of the positive "females" are

I am SOOO confused! lol.I don't remember who started this topic, but were they saying the majority of ALL fiv cats are calicos or the majority of female positives only?? Because I do know there are many more male fiv positives than females. So it wouldn't make sense if most fiv's are
Well, it seems to be a question that there is not currently an known
correct answer to, but folks are providing their own experience with colors
and FIV. I have 5 FIV cats - 3 males, 2 females, no calico, no orange.

i think it's all my fault--i happened to mention that, at the sanctuary where i lived and worked, the majority of the FEMALE fiv's were calico. as the human spokesperson for CaLiCo (Calico Liberation Coalition), it made perfect sense to me, as it is well-known that calicos are the most adventurous
Any black, Gloria?

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
FIV: 2 black male, 1 black female, 1 siamese mix female, 1 b w
male
FELV: 1 black male, 1 gray and white dlh male, 1 white w/ black tail
male, 1 white w/ black tail female, 1 tabby gray w/ white paws female
ALL ARE SWEETHEARTS too! ;)

My first FELV cat was calico - Calawalla Banana Booboo, a real
darling. However, I now have several FELV cats and FIV cats. None
are calico. If there's any predominance in color, it's black. My
friend Susan has several FELV and FIV, and I don't recall seeing a
calico. FYI -

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
You know, I never really stood back and looked at the shelter's FIV females
as far their colors, etc.
Now, reading this, it really hits home
Our FIV+ girls are few (10% female, 90% male), but the majority of them ARE
calicos..

actually, male calicos are not THAT rare-- one in 3,000, i believe. however, FERTILE male calicos are very uncommon.
CaLiCo (Calico Liberation Coalition) is a radical, left-paw social and political organization dedicated to world domination we have weekly chats, message boards.

Ha!Well I had dinner with a friend of mine tonight who is our shelter director. She was telling me they had a calico male and was going on about how uncommon they are. I was thinking they were uncommon kind of like yellow females, but she said they were much more rare.I do tend to confuse
