It will readily bond with a single owner but enjoy the company of an entire family, too. While it's a generally independent cat that doesn't require constant attention, the calico is also sweet, loving, and loyal. It’s rare to see a female orange-all-over cat (for this to happen, she would need an orange or red father and a mother with some orange coloring). The calico is a medium-sized domestic cat renowned for its spunky, assertive personality. Genetics are also the reason a majority of cats with orange-only coats are male. This is the gene found in females, which just like humans, female cats have to X-chromosomes, and males get one X-chromosome and one Y. If they get an o version, they’ll be a different color. Mostly female The orange and black patches that are found in the calico coat are typically found on the X-chromosome in cats. If they get an O version, they’re orange. Male cats on the other hand, are rarely calico or tortoiseshell because they only have that one X chromosome. Basepaws, maker of cat DNA tests that tell you about your cat’s genetic markers, says female felines are more likely to be calico or tortoiseshell because there are more gene combinations available to them through their X chromosomes (O/O, o/o, O/o, o/O). What is a caliby cat A caliby cat is the coat coloration of a cat and is not a stand-alone breed. Torbies are essentially calicos with tabby stripes, so they need both the tabby and calico genes to be present. Female cats have two X chromosomes, which means two chances to inherit orange hues. The dominant O gene will produce orange coloration the recessive o gene will not. Rumored to be a bit feistier than other cats, recent studies confirm that pet parents have this perception, but NOT that calicos have this behavior. Basically, the gene responsible for orange and red coat color is found on the X chromosome and comes in two versions: dominant (O) and recessive (o).
We’ll make this quick because genetics are complicated.
