calico kitten
Spotted young cat
A calico kitten is a young cat with a coat pattern of three colors—typically white, orange, and black—in distinct patches.
Nearly all calico cats are female due to the genetics of coat color inheritance.
The term describes coloring, not breed: We adopted a calico kitten from the shelter.
