Calico's

Asked by etyhvh 4 months ago, 5 answers.

What are the odds of finding a male? Do you have a photo of your Calico or do you agree they make amazing pets? I have two ... Harley Piffles and ZuZu ... they kiss on demand.

Calico is not actually a breed, it's a colour pattern...so you have have different breeds of cats who come out calico.

I don't know what the odds are exactly, but I do know that male calico's are extremely rare.

I have two calico's..my tortoiseshell is half Siamese -Marsala, and the other is a muted calico, half Maine Coon, Marsala's daughter, Echo.

The chance of finding a male calico is about 1%. According to the vet at the animal shelter I used to work for.

I knew they were hard to come by and that they are to be found in many breeds... love the pics. I was hoping there were more out there. I just love them to pieces/ a little cat crazy, you might say

only females can be calico, it has to do with the x chromosone vs why chromosone. Girls get two X chromosones while males get one X and one why for a cat to be calico it needs two X chromosones.
