Recombination


On Sunday Felix wakes with a hangover. He recalls the drunken conversation of the previous evening, when he explained the biochemical details of double crossover recombination events to Huxtable’s very pregnant Ukrainian Levkoy cat. The cat was more interested in licking crumbs of smoked salmon bagel from Kugarita’s chin as she fell asleep behind the leather upholstered armchair. Other than the raunchy music recital from Ethel and Hedre, little is remembered of the rest of the evening, so today no-one notices the disappearance of cat. When their boss calls, Ethel and Freda, who also slept in Huxtable’s lounge, hurry off, while Frab and Tabitha help tidy the place up. Ukrainian Levkoy cats exhibit phenotypic sexual dimorphism, especially around the ears.
