Cats have binocular vision, it means that the images of each eye superpose themselves, making it easy to calculate distances. That is very important for the act of hunting. The Siamese cat, however, has a defective gene, affecting the connection of the eye with the brain - the optic nerve. Then, the binocular vision is reduced, causing a certain double vision. Siamese cats try to correct that double vision, "crossing" their eyes. |
| During almost one century, the England railwaymen had very interesting working colleagues. . . The railway transports company British Rail “ used” about 200 cats, entrusted of hunting mice. The railwaymen were very attached to them and some “hunters" became famous, as the cat Tiddles: for occasion of its death, in 1981, several newspapers consecrated it a necrology! |

There is a faith that when you see a three color cat, it is certainly
a female.
The scientific explanation is in genetics - in the hereditary genes that are the responsible for inherited characteristics. Mottled cats, very colored, belong to a type called "turtle scale" that presents the color orange and other colors: generally yellow, white, black and grey. The orange color gene is dominant and it comes from the female chromosome. |
