Each one is a unique specimen in the world
A calico cat has three colors: orange, black, and white, and although it seems that one sees them everywhere, the color combination is never repeated. So each of them is unique in the world. What better example than this cat with their particular spots on their little nose.
They are the most affectionate
Well yes, some calico cats are cranky and or bad-tempered. But usually, they are balls of hair full of love to give and to receive. Be careful, that they do not see you unoccupied. Because immediately, your calico cat will want you to caress them and pamper them like the queens or kings of the house that they are or will be.
They are not just any common cat out there
Yes, perhaps one sees tricolor cats everywhere. Sure, when on Facebook pages and groups they put photos of a new litter to adopt, sign it, there are one or two calico kittens ready for a new home. But that does not mean that they are an ordinary cat. On the contrary, behind them, there is a complex genetic order that is very difficult to explain. Thus, when visitors come to your house, you will have a perfect cart to surprise them with the fascinating world of tricolor cats, chromosomes, and dominant genes.
They have very good provenance
Every time you see your tricolor cat in the room, rolling on the carpet or looking at the light bulb in search of any small insects, you should know that it dates back to one of the most magical places and cultures in history. Egypt. Its origin has been traced as part of the migration that arose after the opening of trade routes between Europe and North Africa. And now they are all over the world!
They bring good luck and scare ghosts
By Andriy Blokhin
Yes, it is somewhat superstitious but why not believe? Legend has it that Japanese fishermen carried calico kittens through the seas as an amulet against storms and ghosts. Well, there you go, if you are one of those who go to bed with the light on because it scares you, those days are over. You just have to adopt a calico cat.
Perfect for all tastes
Some prefer lighter cats and others darker. Others love furry cats and others without so much fur. A calico cat is a solution. Not only do they have 3 colors to settle differences when deciding on a cat, but they can be of any breed and type of coat. Don’t make excuses for the tricolor!
You go to the fixed with your gender and your name
Calico cats are 99.9% female. So you will rarely find a male out there with those 3 colors. That is why when you adopt one you will not have to go to the animal groups on Facebook to mount a photo of its little bottom to find out if it is male or female. Now you just have to choose a name for the cat. For example; Cathy, Katt, Ramona, Luna, Rosie, Mimi, Judy, etc.
They even have political importance
This is because they are one of the official emblems of the state of Maryland in the United States. Since October 1, 2001, the Legislature of this territory designated the tricolor as such because they have the colors that make up the official flag: orange, black and white.
You will help cats, foundations and foster homes
As their colors are so common and because they are female, many people pass by calico kittens when it comes to being adopted. Thus, when you adopt one, you will give the opportunity to that little girl who spent months waiting to find a home, and right there, you will make room for another cat that can be received in homes or foundations to also find the dream home. It’s a chain of love!
