Decades-long mystery of ginger cats revealed [View all]
... (S)cientists across two continents have uncovered the DNA mystery that has given our furry friends, particularly males, their notable colour.
They discovered that ginger cats are missing a section of their genetic code, which means the cells responsible for their skin, eye and fur tone produce lighter colours.
The breakthrough has brought delight to the scientists but also the thousands of cat lovers that originally crowdfunded the research.

Now we can all rest easy and just enjoy those gingers. I find it interesting that funds to pay for the research were crowdsourced. There appears to be no truth to the rumor that RFK Jr. will refute these finings, point-by-point, tomorrow.
