Review # 1 was written on 2021-03-25 00:00:00 Wally Majors The genetics described in the book was already familiar to me, but the applications and practical considerations were not. It was very informative, although the title should be ‘How to breed pet Habsburgs and don’t end up with Charles II of Spain’.

Review # 2 was written on 2010-05-17 00:00:00 Brigette Mcnew 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.
