RE: Coincidence? Bad Luck? Glitch? Share your story!
It happens. I had a RFL Steampunk Male that I was almost certain hid what then would have been the new most recessive whisker. I bred that cat for his entire breeding lifetime and he aged out without ever producing a female offspring. With no female, I was unable to breed back to him, nor do a sibling breeding to try to pull out that potentially hidden recessive.
On a more recent note... I had nine consecutive female kittens drop this month. The only male kitten box I had before last evening had dropped on 2/1. Every box for the next eight days was a female. So yes, things like this happen -- long strings of the same result occur. It's normal, but frustrating.
