No truth whatsoever as the gene that turns a black cat into a grey one isn't sex linked e.g. it isn't on the sex chromosones - the X or the Y.

when she is in a very happy mood, or lovey dovey as i call it, and you make the mistake of petting her near her tail end she squirtr this foul brown creamy stuff that stinks to high heaven. It can go 3 or 4 feet behind her. It smells like dead mice and fish. Its not common but i just wondered if other torties did it. Her last squirt was about 2 weeks ago and i had to disinfect my computer table and leather settee.

Never heard of that

It's not a tortie thing - at least neither of mine have done that! Sounds vile!
Is she neutered?

"Alfie" is a Calico though?? and yes Calico's are normally always female....

(My Amber was the only girl of a pure white litter and the only Calico)

yeah she.s neutered. She was done at 6 months and is now 4 and a half years old. The vet says there's nothing wrong with her and its just something she does lol. I wish she would do it somewhere else. Its always around me. I.ve had to change clothes and shower on many occasions lol. I have 6 cats now and have had 16 in my life and this is a first for me. Trust me lol.

Nope...my tortie has NEVER done that!!!!!

Heres a photo of my little squirter Bella
