calico cats
Tricolor domestic felines
Calico cats are domestic cats with a distinctive three-color coat pattern of white, orange, and black patches.
The coloring results from genetics linked to the X chromosome, which means nearly all calico cats are female; the rare males are typically sterile.
Calico refers to the coat pattern rather than a breed, so calicos appear across many different cat breeds.
Our calico has the sweetest personality.
