This just in to our news desk:
"Tom cats in Sichuan province in southern China have sprouted wing-like growths on their backs..."

No word on wether any of the nearby Shou wizards had adopted them as familiars, but it would seem inevitable...

OK, I think that a wave of blue fire washed over a Tressym colony and transported this special kitty into our reality.
This is the first positive side effect of the blue fire I have seen! |

It was probably bred for the Opening ceremonies of the Olympics! |

Me too...I don't quite believe this story. |

The two traits, tricolor and a Y chomosome, don't occur in the same cat very often :P Add little wing thingies and that's a very one of a kind kitty. |

If that tugging sensation is just me not being able to sit still for more than two minutes, then some one really won the lottery on that cat :P
Tomcat just means that it is a Male Cat, so it could be a calico tomcat |

I tried to stay away from the cat-in-the-kettle stereotype, but, hey! My thoughts *exactly*, RW! 
For a long time, we had -- right on 192, a main road -- a Chinese place sitting next to a pet store.

Apparently calico/tortie requires an XX chromosome, making almost all female. There are rare incidents of XXY calicos which are male, but I doubt they're virile toms. Perhaps an XXY calico tom explains why he's avoiding the affection of his female admirers.  |

Reading the article, it looks like it's just the one cat with winglets. |

Perhaps these toms adapted to avoid predation, from overly amorous females or oppressive humans who want an "inside cat".
I never considered that tressym migrated from Kara-Tur! Perhaps they're fey.... |
