Tortoiseshell calico tabby1/17/2024 ![]() ![]() The “M” on their heads are thought to represent this Mau/Moon relationship.Īlso, unlike the Torties, Tabby cats are not mostly female. And Ancient Egyptians were known to associate cats with the moon. In English, Mau translates to light - like the light of the midnight moon. The first legend originated in Ancient Egypt, where cats were referred to as “Mau.” Perhaps this is because of the “Meow” noise that they make, but of course we can’t be sure. Many legends exist that attempt to explain why this is. ![]() Certainly, they all have an unmistakable “M” on their foreheads. Some may even have unique swirl and whorl patterns. With their distinctive stripes and spots, they are certainly hard not to admire. Most cat connoisseurs know and love a Tabby cat. ![]() So just keep an eye out for that little detail! Studies from the University of California, Davis, confirm what Tortie owners have known along: with a flashy coat, comes an extra fiery spirit.ĭifficult to distinguish from their Tortoiseshell/Tabby (Torbie) cousins, the Tortie cat does have at least one notable difference - the black part of their coats will be free of stripes. Seriously, this goes way beyond the typically observed “cattitude” that is frequently attributed to most house cats. This XXY combination is known as Klinefelter Syndrome in humans and unfortunately, this particular gene variation causes the male Tortie to be sterile.Īlso unique to Tortoiseshell cats is their sassy personality. ![]() So in order for a Tortie to be male, he must have a genetic mutation that causes him to express two X chromosomes, in addition to the Y chromosome that makes him male. Males only have one X chromosome and one Y chromosome, while females carry two X chromosomes. While male Torties do exist, they are incredibly rare- only about 1 in 3000 male cats have the Tortoiseshell pattern! This is because in order to express the gorgeous Tortie coat pattern, a cat must have a mutation in two X chromosomes. It turns out that the genes that determine coat color are also responsible for determining sex. Most often, Torties are black and red or orange, and oddly, they are almost exclusively female. Several pure breeds, such as Maine Coons and Persians may exhibit the Tortoiseshell pattern. Instead, the “Tortie” term actually refers to the coat pattern that results from a certain genetic combination. Like the Tabby cat, the Tortie cat is not actually a breed. Tortoiseshell Cats are so-named for their tri-colored coats that resemble the colorful shell of a tortoise. If you want to see more tabby, torbie, and tortoise shell cats, stories of pets, or share your pet's story check out our free Facebook group. Now, you will be able to tell the difference like a real pro! But do not worry! We have put together a comprehensive guide for all cat lovers. In fact, differentiating between the various Tabby cats and other similar looking cats can be quite difficult for the untrained eye. In today’s article, we will focus in on how to tell the difference between Tabby cats, Calico cats, and even the rare Torties and Torbies.įor example, did you know that “Tabby” actually refers to a specific coat pattern rather than a specific breed of cat? And surprisingly, not all Tabby cats even have stripes! Color us shocked! And even a wide range of colors! From the exotic looking spots of a beautiful Bengal cat, to the striking stripes of a Tabby cat, each one is certainly gorgeous and unique. One of the greatest things about cats is that much like their feline loving owners, they come in all imaginable shapes and sizes. ![]()

Putting anaconda lyrics to taylor swift1/16/2024 ![]() ![]() There is limited value in playing spot-the-difference between the recordings, and only a few of the bonus From the Vault tracks – recorded at the time but not released – have been keepers. Still only halfway through, the project is starting to feel a little wearying and pointless, other than in the business sense. The saga educated a generation of young fans about music rights and made supporting this extremely lucrative re-recording campaign an ethical issue. Swift claimed she wasn’t offered the chance to buy them back herself re-recording them gives her ownership of the new master recordings and forces any directors wishing to sync her music to use her versions. It’s the third album in Swift’s project to re-record her first six records, made for the label Big Machine, after the masters were sold to an old foe, Scooter Braun. Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) is a continuation of that spirit. (Innocent consoles Kanye West, who in 2009 invaded Swift’s acceptance speech at the MTV Video Music awards, instigating a pop-cultural paradigm shift that we’re still living through.) The album is premised on Swift saying the things she wished she had said: an extended fantasy about having the last word in heartbreak – but also, for the first time, her own narrative. ![]()

Best automatic watches under 5001/16/2024 ![]() ![]() It gets the job done worry-free, which is great when you consider this watch could be used for scuba diving with its 200m water resistance. The watch is powered by the same 7S26 movement as the Seiko 5 SNK line: reliable, sturdy, and simplistic. For those who are unsure about the larger case diameter, the SKX013 version may be for you as it comes in at approximately 38mm in diameter. The SKX007 measures in at 42mm in diameter with a thickness of 13mm. The SKX series offers many variants, but the most widely popular is the SKX007. Despite the very affordable price, these are widely considered classic timepieces and a work horse that every serious watch collector will have in their stable. ![]() These watches are undeniably Seiko and a much-refined descendant of the earliest Seiko divers from the 1960s. Wanting to sport that classic diver watch look on a budget? Then look no further than the ultra affordable Seiko SKX series. At a retail price starting under $100, any choice in the Seiko 5 SNK line of watches is most certainly a watch you can wear year-round without others knowing you own only a single timepiece. All the features aside, the best part about these watches is the value you get for the price. The watch also features an easily set day/date function, water resistance of up to 30m, and the always under-rated Seiko lume. This movement won’t win any awards for being the most accurate, but it is extremely reasonable and reliable.Ī bonus lies in the fact that the movement is visible via the exhibition case back, a feature that many watches at this price range do not offer. The watches in this line are powered by the tried and true 7S26 movement with a power reserve of approximately 40 hours. With a case diameter of 37mm and amazingly thin at just 11mm, the wrist presence is subtle and feels just right. The Seiko 5 SNK line comes in five different color options, but I must admit the SNK809 is my personal favorite for its black dial and the red accents on the second hand. I personally feel so strongly about this statement and the value of the Seiko SNK series that I bought a SNK809 watch and gifted it to my brother on his last birthday as his first automatic watch! In the words of one of my friends who is extremely well-versed in the world of watches, “the Seiko 5 SNK series offers the best value in a mechanical watch hands down”. This line of watches is often considered one of the most popular and affordable series ever made, and for good reason. ![]() From seasoned watch collectors who own many luxury brands, to those just getting into automatic watches, I have personally seen all types of the Seiko 5 SNK series on many wrists. ![]()

Pruning maple trees best time1/15/2024 ![]() Otherwise, decay-producing fungi can infect healthy parts of the trees. When you are pruning maple trees, it is always a good idea to remove broken, diseased, or dead branches. It can also open up the center of the tree to let sun and air move through the canopy. Carefully removing branches can reduce or eliminate structural issues in a tree. Pruning also assists the tree develop of a sound branch structure. Regular maple tree pruning helps keep a tree the desired size and stops a tree from encroaching on its neighbors. Gardeners trim maple trees for a variety of reasons. For this reason, many gardeners say that the best time for pruning maples is in summer after the tree is fully in leaf. Once the leaf buds open, the sap is no longer under pressure and won’t leak out from pruning wounds. You can avoid this issue if you wait until summer to prune maples. If the tree is just a sapling, however, loss of sap may cause problems. You would have to remove an entire limb for the loss of sap to negatively impact a fully grown tree. However, maple tree pruning in winter generally won’t hurt a mature tree. Washtenaw CountyMichigan Expert Response Good Morning, Most deciduous trees should be pruned in late fall to winter. ![]() When is the best time of year to prune back my maple trees and what should I watch out for the following year. This makes it look as if the tree is suffering. Asked October 04, 2022, 9:45 AM EDT I like the wild maple trees. ![]() In late winter, when the days are warm and the nights are cold, root pressure causes sap to flow from any wound made in the bark of the tree. Many gardeners are confused about when to prune a maple tree. It’s important to learn how to prune maple trees and to pick the best time for pruning maples. However, maple tree pruning is an essential part of maple tree maintenance. The species’ tendency to lose sap from wounds makes gardeners question the wisdom of pruning maple trees. Maple trees are known for their brilliant fall color as well as the ease with which they “bleed” sap. Once these branches are removed you will have a better look at what live branches should be taken off, if any.The tree in the backyard that blazes with red, orange, and yellow foliage in autumn is most likely a maple. Do a quick inspection of the tree and take note of any limbs that are dead, in the process of dying, or are very weak and are dropping sharply. When you start pruning the maple tree you should always start with the dead and weak branches first. ![]() Wait until the leaves completely develop before pruning a maple tree. This sap can be a nuisance for saws and tools. Maple trees have sap that many people will tap for making syrup. Pruning them before the buds come out will help the tree produce blooms and fruit. Prune After Leaves Developįor most trees, you should prune when the spring thaw is coming and you start to see a little life in your trees. There has to be some sort of reason and plan in pruning your maple tree. Pruning trees is more than just taking your sheers and lopping off branches. Pruning also energizes the tree for more blooms, fruits, or rejuvenated growth. Next, your pruning is shaping the tree and keeping it clean, neat, and attractive. First, you are training the tree to grow in the direction you want it to. When you prune your maple tree, or any tree, shrub, or plant for that matter, you are giving it several different things at once. ![]()
