Medical, genetic & behavioral aspects of purebred cats Book

The author, Laura Gould, has a male calico cat named George. She knows this is rare because the color genes are sex-linked, so she sets out on her research into male calicos, including paying a lab to map George's karyotype. She provides a nice review of Mendelian genetics--perhaps we learned it in high school then promptly forgot it. But it is not just a study of cat genetics; the science is made more memorable and appealing by being part of the saga of her research and her life with George and their other cat, Max.
