With tongue in cheek, I’m alleging that the Cat Fanciers’ Association (CFA) is being sexist when it bars male calico cats from winning at cat shows. You may know that male calico cats are very rare. It is said that they are 1 in 3,000 and when they are fertile they are even rarer. …
I am going to argue that a male calico cat may be worth upwards of £2000 (or US$2000). I will explain why I have come to this conclusion but at the same time please read Sarah Hartwell’s comment. She has a different opinion and I respect her opinion. UPDATE: this is an important update …
I found these photos by Fort Lauderdale Fire Rescue (Twitter page) compelling.

I don’t think you will see a better example of idiotic cat ownership. This American woman apparently thinks it is a good idea to tie her calico cat to the hood (bonnet in the UK) of her car and then drive the car around town with her husband in the passenger seat. No doubt, …
