Saw this on another discussion board.
Calico, tuxedo, tabby mix?

Did they name it "Photoshop"?

We used to see a feral in our area that looked like that one.

Also, all Calicos are female. No male Calicos.

The stats are that 1/3,000 calicos are male. It is a fluke when it happens and the colors are a mish mash usually, not the typical coloration you see in calicos.

I did use the word "all" and that is wrong and I humbly apologize, show me pics of 3,000 calicos and I'll pick out the rare males every time.

Here is a website that explains the genetics involved.

Here is our current calico. We've had 4 in the last 30 yrs.

Not entirely true. Rare, though. We had a 3 color Tom when I was a kid. The only one the vet had ever seen, but he was real.

Think you're being a little over-sensitive there, Jim.

The photo is a "nope" by a cat that put a single foot onto new snow at someone's front door then thought better of it.

Don't think it had anything at all to do with whether it's possible for a calico to be male.

But I could be wrong.


Thanks,

My post stands on its own one feet.

LOL

Was not in response to calico kittens.

FWIW. Torties are my favorite. Calico is my second.

Yep, missed it and I thought it was in response to the all female statement.

It did make me double check though, hence the 1/3,000 stat. Smile
