- I had never heard of the letter "M" attribute, but after I read this
- post, I went home and looked at my orange tabby, and lo and behold, there it
- was! Also, I have a new kitten who is either half or 3/4 Siamese, and looks
- Siamese except his dark paws are a bit heathery, and he has a very faint
- letter "M" on his forehead! I had thought they were just faint tabby stripes,
- but it is an "M".
