FAQ

To be called “calico”, three colours must be present: black, white and orange. Another interesting fact is that approximately one calico in 3,000 is male. So, if you see a Calico cat, you can almost be assured that it will be a female cat. A similar cat to Calico's is the Tortoiseshell or Torties for short.
A calico cat (US English) is a domestic cat of any breed with a tri-color coat. The calico cat is most commonly thought of as being 25% to 75% white with large orange and black patches; however, they may have other colors in their patterns. Calicoes are almost exclusively female except under rare genetic conditions.
Two X chromosomes are needed to create the tri-color coat, and an XX pair also results in the cat being female. If the cat gets one orange-coded X and one black-coded X, she will be calico—with the white patches resulting when she also inherits a gene unrelated to the X and Y chromosomes that codes for white fur.
A number of breeds, including American Shorthair, Japanese Bobtail, and Persian to name a few can have a calico coat color. What sets Calico cats apart is their tri-color coat. Calico cats have at least three colors in their fur, which at their most basic are white, orange, and black.
Since females have two X chromosomes, they can “display” two different colours orange or black and white; creating the 3-colour calico mix. Since males have only one X chromosome, they only have one black or orange gene and can only display orange or black.
