This cat has to be named Harvey Dent...
[–]Dekoded 11 points12 points13 points 7 days ago
proud to say I have a cat just like that named Two-Face

Yup, that cat most definitely looks like it will kill me at the flip of a coin. Also, AAAAWWWWW
[–]TheDorkMan 4 points5 points6 points 7 days ago
Jaqen would be cool too.

Unfortunately, it is most likely female.
[–]severn -1 points0 points1 point 7 days ago
Came here for this reference. Was not disappointed. A++ would look again!
[–]Uncle_Erik 6 points7 points8 points 7 days ago
Wow - she is amazing! Heterochromic, too!
Is she yours?
I hope she's the typical calico sweetie pie. I'd cuddle the hell out of that cat.
[–]comingundone[S] 2 points3 points4 points 7 days ago
Not mine - x-posted this from r/aww. I agree though, calicos are very sweet.
[–]JustPlainRude 4 points5 points6 points 7 days ago
Any smart people out there who can explain the genetics behind this? I'm curious.
[–]I_like_cats_ 5 points6 points7 points 7 days ago
I'm no expert but, I think she has standard calico fur colour genes. Every female cat has two fur colour genes (one inherited from the mother, one from the father). She will have one for orange and one for black.
Females have two X chromosomes (one from each parent) whereas males have one X (from their mother who only has X's) and one Y (from their father who had one of each). Only female cats can be calicos because these fur colour genes are on the X chromosome so, males only have one of these genes (because they inherit a Y chromosome from their father which is shorter and doesn't have this gene). This is also why orange cats are mostly male: males just need to have one orange fur gene to be orange whereas female cats are only completely orange if they inherit the gene from both father and mother which is less likely.
She also has the gene for white patches since she has one under her chin. This gene prevents melanin pigment being produced in patches of the fur causing the white patch. Only some cells are affected, not the whole body but, affected cells occur in clusters together causing the patches in the fur.
I think that the heterochromia (different eye colours) occurs because of the same gene: if an eye has no melanin it is blue. I think that usually, the blue eye is surrounded by a white patch of fur because the surrounding fur is also affected but, in this case, I think it happens that this cluster of affected cells was confined to the eye so the surrounding fur is normal (coloured). I think this is just random chance and not due to genetics so, if she were to be cloned, I think her clone would have a different distribution of white patches and may not have a blue eye. I think the same is true of the distribution of colours: her clone would still have patches of orange and patches of black but, they would be distributed differently so she may not have her face divided in half like this.

Reminds me of Ichigo when his hollow mask would come on during battles... just thought I'd add some nerdiness to your cat lifes. Continue on

Please tell me this cat's name is Two-Face, please!!!
[–]Aarinfel -1 points0 points1 point 7 days ago
I would watch carefully, and if it seems to start making decisions based on coin flips, be afraid!

Reminds me of a shop I saw in the old section of Salzburg: http://i.imgur.com/QQzq9.jpg

Upvote for Heterochromia! I have one too! I love the markings on this baby, truly striking.
[–]crazy_eric 0 points1 point2 points 7 days ago*
What a cool cat! In addition to the split fur color, I love the two different eye colors too . Does anyone know where can I get a cat exactly like this in the New England area?
[–]breakfastfire 0 points1 point2 points 6 days ago
What an oddity. Never seen a half and halfer.
[–]Jackovsky 0 points1 point2 points 6 days ago
