Well if i had known that I wouldn't have been trying so hard to find out what Grover was. Of couse she still would have been named Grover, what else do you name a cat that was found in a trashcan? Grover of course, and the grandchildren insisted so what else was I to do. I never knew that about the tortises and the calicos though. I had calicos when I was growing up, and they were females. Didn't enter my mind there was a reason for it.Thanks for the info amoore.
