Calico cats are awesome. I was very fortunate to share 21 years with mine, and even though she passed away more than a year ago, I still talk to her several times every day, and I give her fresh flowers every day too. I am grateful for every day we spent together.

I miss my Calico so much. She lived for 21 years so I was blessed.

Me too, now i have her daughter in my house, sometimes she reminds me her mother ❤️

I brought an abandoned calico kitten home, she was so weak and thin but she was fighting for her life, she would try to meow at people near her, but everyone didn't want her, then she looked at me and showed me her belly, my heart instantly dropped and I couldn't leave her to starve to death, it's been a lot of work nursing her back to health but today she learned to use her potty box on her own and she played for the first time, she's definitely a gift.

During my childhood my family adopted a stray Calico. TC (for Tri-Colored) was the perfect cat, a skilled mouser who protected her home from vermin, while being the most affectionate and wise cat. TC was with us for 17 years, and her life before she showed - up as a house-trained, spayed adult cat was a mystery to our family. At the end of her life, our vet X-rayed her and found shotgun pellets beneath her skin. This explained why she would flinch when petted on her back, but she would not shy away from being a thoroughly affectionate cat. She showed-up in 1964, and was with us until 1981.

Only 1 in 3000 calicos are male. It's because you need two x chromosomes to get a calico so the only way you can get a male calico is with XXY chromosomes.

I've got a female an she's the best lol but I've heard males are rare🎉

I just rescued one that was left behind in a house for almost a month. She's the sweetest damn thing.

our Calico Cat "Lucy" was a rescue. Had her since 2017 and we had to gave her up in 2020 as she could get along with our other cat. Hardest thing we had to do! But she when to a great family, a couple that loves animals. This year she ran away (2025). She was gone for 5 weeks, thought she was gone for good. But one evening saw her run across the street. I called her and she went into hiding. I can see her from a distance but stay in the area. After an hour or so, she came closer and I was able to pick her up. I was shaking with happiness as they united together.

My sweet sweet calico girl gave me so much love, as I did her. After I had surgeries, she cuddled up to me, only leaving to eat or use the box. She went over the rainbow bridge several months ago. I still have so many days that I shed tears. I talk to her quite a bit. Don’t know how I’ll recover from the next surgery without her. I love you, Moochie.❤️

Calico cats are an AOG (act of God) version. My grandparents had a farm. When my mom was a little girl, my grandmother told her that Calico cats were the last variety of cats created by God on Saturday night before the Sabbath. He was finishing up his work of creating the world as we know it and noticed that he had enough cat material leftover to create one more version of cat, that is why the calico has three colors. I always thought that was a charming story to explain to a young girl regarding the strange color scheme of her kitten.

My calico Millie came into my life and pretty much became the center of the universe. If we're not giving her attention she just screams. If you're where she can reach you she will be in your face. I took my black and white cat out one day (he's harness trained and likes walks) and I could hear her just screaming at us from the window 😂 I had to go back inside and give her treats to make her hush up

I very much appreciate your thoughtful video about calicos. Your cat is gorgeous and I love how affecionate you are with her. Calicos definitely do have a personality unto themselves. Some of my observation of them throughout the years are that they're more independent than other cats; they're quite smart; they're very affectionate with the people they love; they let you know what they want(!); and they can act both hot and cold towards the other cats in the family. I love their quirky personalities and I also love their coloring because you'll never see two that are exactly alike. My very first cat was a long-haired dilute calico I named Sugar Puff. She lived for 19 yrs and was (and still is) the Love of My Life. She was stunningly gorgeous and everyone loved her....my sisters, my parents, our relatives and even our neighbors. But I was 'her person' and she would always seek me out. Since Sugar Puff I have always had calicos and can't imagine not having one!

@@-g.k.4389 All cats are different and your best course of action is to give her time and the space to get to know her new environment and to gain trust in you. Feed on the same daily schedule as closely as possible. Speak softly to her and dont make sudden movements. Right now what she is doing is a threat assessment, so loud noises, music, fast, sudden movements and things along that line you need to keep in mind and eliminate them as much as possible. Do not force petting and affection on her. Cats are animals which come along with boundaries, and we have to always acknowledge that. She will come to you when she starts to trust you. Trust takes time with most cats, most cats hide when put in a new environment, and you have to let your cat take the lead. Cats are extremely smart, and cautious animals. I also believe they appreciate you more when you don't smother them. This will not work. Introduce a couple of toys, interactive ones placed near the pantry. These can be ball towers, battery powered feather toys which rotate...some things which will draw her out from the pantry. It will work out, I guarantee it....it does depend on you to an extent. Do not treat your cat like a dog....doesn't work out too well when we try and do that. I wish you the best of luck. A feral I befriended taught me everything I know about cats. How to deal with them and interact. Took months for her to stay the night, and a year to be comfortable living inside. There was a level of fear due to the fact she was a very tough cat...First thing I learned was for it to go well, I had to let her take the lead. I believe this is how to approach cats. She never once showed me an ounce of aggression, and I never had a bond with an animal like I had with her. Cats love with everything they've got, however....they will not show you superficially.....would love to hear back from you as your relationship with your cat grows!

We also has one called vlekkie.

I have a puspin calico cat its 4 years old and it has 5 kittens it aslo has a mini calico and a mini orange cat the father is ginger and ginger is a persian cat❤

I have a rascue Calico cat as well. She looks spot on like a Turkish Van. She's mostly white with her tail orange with a tint of dark color. Half of her top head is orange and the other is black-ish. She even has that orange spot between her shoulders from Turkish vans. But I know she's not pure breed at least. Her mother was half white and half grey tabby and her father was ginger (half white and half orange). She's an amazing cat, she's been with me for the past 4 years and I love her to bits. She's very intelligent and, like you guys said, very moody 😂. Sometimes she'll follow me around meowing for attention and other times she moves away if I'm trying to pet her. She's also very healthy, never had any health issue so far. I forgot to mention that she's also very fluffy ❤️. And quite big 😂, she's bigger than my male cat.

I named him Parsley. *only around 1 in 3,000 are males and they are generally sterile

I and my husband have 2 calico cats. They both are so beautiful, lovely and affectionate! They are very smart too. Initially, we didn't know calicos are female and ended up naming them as Felix and Marco. Later we realized they are female but the names pretty much stayed. Felix became Feli but Marco still says as Marco. We also call her Marconi. :) Oh yes, they are very very sassy and independent!!! They clearly know we fall for every single drama they put! Yes, they are picky too!! When they were kittens, they were so difficult on us as they were too adamant and unfriendly. But now they have grown up to adorable cats. But still drama queens!!!

She gets really upset if you refuse to pet her.

The reason most calicos are female is because the color gene is located on the x chromosome. Females have 2 x's, so one can be black and one orange. White is not really a color. The only way to get a male calico is if it has a genetic mutation,, instead of xy it has xxy chromosomes. Females are xx chromosomes.
