Cornell scientists identify rare human genetic disorder in two unusually long-legged cats
Two unusually long-legged cats have helped scientists uncover the first genetically confirmed cases of Marfan syndrome in domestic felines. Researchers at Cornell University discovered that the brothers carried two altered copies of a gene linked to the rare connective tissue disorder, which can affect the eyes, heart, and blood vessels. Surprisingly, the cats survived into adulthood because their genetic mutation still allowed some normal function.

Iwate University found 13 branched-chain fatty acids in cat kidneys, blended in a ratio unique to each cat and shipped out in urine.
Unexplained for a century.

Most black cats are male because the black fur color gene (as all fur colour genes) is carried on the X chromosome
Meanwhile, cats completely black from head to toe (like my beautiful Salem in the pic) are actually rare! 🤯
