There doesn't seem to be anything particularly special about the cat.

It was mentioned that the cat is smart, which is something special.

The special thing about this cat is that he is male.
It is very rare to find a male calico cats:

Calico cats are almost always female because the X chromosome determines the color of the cat, and female cats, much like all female mammals, have two X chromosomes, whereas male mammals, including common male cats, have one X and one Y chromosome. Since the Y chromosome does not have any color genes, there is no chance he could have both orange and non-orange together. One main exception to this is when, in rare cases, a male has XXY chromosomes (see Klinefelter's syndrome), in which case the male could have tortoiseshell or calico markings. Male calico or tortoiseshell cats are sterile due to the abnormality of carrying two X chromosomes.

I still don't know how to connect this to the case..
Just to be clear though, even if male calico cats are very rare, their [monetary] value is the same as a female..

The BO are seriously spoiling Amuro . The amount of money he offered to become Mouri's apprentice, the sandwiches he buys for the agency, and now Yoko's premium ticket. Just how much more money are they willing to give him to get Mouri's trust(which he already has). Now I'm jealous .

What if he takes ticket for free because yoko okino is a mib ?

Why not? We didn't forget the ashtray full of cigarettes yet .

Ehm...which ashtray? I don't remember...

Good observation! Maybe it will be helpful

[Akai Shuuichi]

Ehm...which ashtray? I don't remember...

In Okino's introductory case, though she claimed that she doesn't smoke, there was an ashtray full of cigarettes at her house. I've read somewhere that some fans theorized that Gosho planned her to be Anokata before DC was a great success.

[verdebufera91]

Ahah!
I still believe that she is an important character!
Maybe not Anokata, but Anotherkata .... (joke level: Kogoro -_-)

Anyway....Goro-chan is male or female? One of suspects,talking about it, says: "SHE seems to like HER owner a lot" (Page 10)
But Mitsuhiko says: "Why is HE here?" (Page 8)

It was this thread btw. Unfortunately the forum move ate it. One of the best discussion threads of all time here at DCTP in my opinion. Please, nobody necro it in a bad way and get it locked again...

If I had to say, he's probably male because of his name
If the suspect said that, it could just be because she doesn't know.

I read almost every post in the thread it really is interesting. Too bad no one posts there anymore .

Ah, that's right. I can never seem to remember which way it goes with the calicos. Still, though, as you said, the monetary value is the same.

Sound: might be the dog whistle which only animals could hear; there are electronic, non-lung powered type.

I hope none of them is the real owner cause I really like this cat to appear once in a while. Or, somebody should kill the real owner, then Azusa or Amuro can keep it. XD

[ssjup81]

My current suspicions lie with the second. He's allergic to cats, I'm pretty sure, so it seems to me that he perhaps tried to get rid of the cat when they were moving, then his wife told him something about the collar that made him want to get the cat back. There doesn't seem to be anything particularly special about the cat, so it seems likely that the collar is the cause of all the drama.

So maybe the sound has something to do with the sound Taii's collar makes when he moves. Still difficult to determine who the owner is, though i feel 100% certain that it's not the old woman's.

[Commi-Ninja]

I was thinking there might be something on the collar. It's difficult to tell, though, in the picture of Azusa with Taii.

Anokata: Let's see the expenses...
Anokata: Gin Berreta, shells.... Vodka guns, silencer.. Vermouth knife, C4... Bourbon Cat-milk, cat pan, Youko Okino Premium Concert-Ticket... WTF is Bourbon doing?

[k11chi]

Wouldnt it be funny if next case was at Yokos concert?

With a room full of ashtrays and alcohol I bet

Well since Yoko is the boss, all BO members get concert tickets as part of their employee benefits anyway. Kogoro might be sitting next to some suspicious people, though...

[Akai Shuuichi]

Well since Yoko is the boss.

I liked the confidence in this sentence .
