Re: Tri colour local cat
The color gene is found on the sex chromosome, like the human female has the XX chromosomes while the guys have the XY. If a tri-color male kitten is born, it will die because of the genetic flaw, and as nature seldom wastes, the mother eats the sick or dying kitten for nutrition.
