Do you know the three colors of calico cats?
Calico cats are not a specific breed; rather, they have three colors on their bodies - black, orange, and white - displaying different patterns and distribution. As a result, each calico cat has a unique appearance. Most calico cats are female due to genetic inheritance, although rare cases of male calicos do occur.

Perhaps due to the orange color on their bodies, calico cats seem to inherit the foodie genes from orange cats. Despite their seemingly aloof and sophisticated demeanor, calico cats are often hidden food enthusiasts, pretending to casually pass by food bowls and indulging when no one is watching.
Calico cats not only make loyal companions but also bring lots of luck and love. Have you ever had a calico cat as a pet? Share your experiences in the comments!
