Phinny, you see, is a male tortoiseshell, a tricolor cat. He's not quite the missing link in the cat world, but is undoubtedly a rare quirk of nature, for reasons of genetics.

someone I know once told me that all-white cats can be male or female, but that the all-white male cats are always sterile.

Of course, in Phinny's case, he's sterile now...

I never heard that, but I did hear they're usually deaf. (??)
