    Beautiful cat! Thanks. Is there any particular reason to think it’s a chimera? If it’s a female, it’s more likely to be X chromosome inactivation.

      Do you get X inactivation with such clean divisions? I thought it was a stochastic process much later in development? This isn’t my area so I’m relying on something like high school biology on this one.
