What’s up pawty people!? We love all cats, that’s no secret, but sometimes we like to give a shout out to certain breeds and showcase their silly moments, beauty, and overall adorable-ness. This time we’re shining a huge spotlight on calico cats. Calico cats are very near and dear to our hearts, we have had many a calico cat in our day and we definitely have a special connection with them. Whenever we see a calico cat, we just cannot help but stop and stare in awe. For those of you who don’t know, the calico is a domestic cat with a tri-color coat; white, black, orange and adorable all over. Calicos are known to be sassy and spunky, but as we cat people know, this depends on each cat individually.
Did you know that the vast majority of calico cats are female? Two X chromosomes are needed for a cat to have that distinctive tri-color coat. If a cat has an XX pair, she will be female. Male cats have an XY chromosome pair, so they can’t be Calicos. We learn something new every single day over here at ICanHasCheezburger, y’all.
