__________________

they are realy rare when 1 was born in our local rescue centre it made the local paper now will my missy have any rare ones as shes tortie and she mated with a pure ginger and girl ginger cats are rare arent they

So rare that I'd say someone doesn't know that they have bought a female
Red (ginger) girls are uncommon but certainly not as rare as tortie boys.

Was just about to suggest the same thing

__________________

Rare yes, but still just the same as any other cat. I don't see why anyone would pay more.

And yes its probably a girl, or if it is a boy, its a boy who could come with illnesses related to his genetic defect.

So yes why would anyone pay 'more' for a cat which is sadly likely to be ill?


On another note, red girls are apparently 25% of all red cats, nowhere near as rare as 'tortie boys'. They are just harder to get genetically, not a product of a genetic problem.

ive never heard of one before! especially for sale! im sure someone would pay more for it that £80, as just because its a male tortie doesnt mean it is definitely going to be ill and have problems

Why would they pay more? Just to show the cat off?

As it is a male tortie is has some syndrome called Klinefelters (sp) which can lead to various problems. So no, I wouldnt pay 'more' for a rare moggy which could have health issues.

id want to buy it to stop people from buying it to breed from it lots to try and get another.

well people pay lots of money for pedigrees that can have health issues dont they?

hahah they'd have a hard job, all male torties are infertile

Nope, they don't if you buy from a good breeder, and I would never suggest getting a ped from a non reputable breeder

well to be fair any responsible breeder will have health tested animals and make sure that the stud also has this any that don't pass the health tests wouldn't be getting bred from!
