Female Feline, Male Mutt: Difference between revisions

== Video Games ==

* In ''[[Pokémon]]'', the Growlithe line has a 75% chance of being male. The Skitty and Glameow lines have a 75% chance of being female. That last one is [[Justified Trope|justified]] by apparently being based on calico cats [[Truth in Television|which really are mostly female]]; the combination of color genes involved requires two X chromosomes, so for a male to have the coloration requires that they have two Xs ''and'' a Y chromosome, which is abnormal and leads to sterility but is mostly harmless otherwise, or that their bodies be "chimeras" resulting from two zygotes merging together (a rarer condition).

* The DS game [[Solatorobo]] appears to make use of this as the protagonists are a male dog and female cat. However, the Caninu and Felineko races are not gender exclusive, and female Caninu and male Felineko not only exist, but are nearly as abundant as their counterparts. In fact, the other teased dog-cat pairing, Merveille and Béluga, inverts this.

* ''[[Darkstalkers]]'' has Felicia, a catwoman, and Jon Talbain, a werewolf.
