Well, we’ve finally been called out on our catty remarks. In our list of bizarre superstitions at the end of the August episode of Skeptic Check, Seth and I mentioned that “blue cats are good luck in Russia,” and then went on to make glib remarks about the existence of blue felines. Turns out, blue cats exist – as we learned from listeners hours after the show aired. Or, rather, we erred.
One man wrote to say that his wife breeds:
“Abyssinian cats, and the Abyssinian actually comes in blue. We have one in our house. In all honesty it is a blueish type of grey, but the variant is called blue.”
And there is the Russian Blue cat, above, which really is a hue of blue. It seems our good luck is having listeners with sharp animal instincts! – Molly

And all this time I thought Seth was the source of the awesome puns
