What are Calico Cats?
Calico cats are cats with a distinctive tri-colored coat pattern in which white, black, and orange fur are all present in large patches. In addition, calico cats may also have spots of chocolate, cinnamon, ginger, cream, or gray fur. These cats are distinguished from tortoiseshell or tortie cats by the amount of white in their fur: a calico cat has lots of white, especially around the chest and legs, while tortoiseshells have swirls of color in their fur which can look almost muddy from a distance.
