I miss my calico cat. All cats in my house have always preferred my mother, but this one was really my cat. She was so smart and could follow a few basic commands, but would only do that for me. I dream about her sometimes, I'd like to think she's still watching over me.
As a child, I had a male calico. He was perfectly healthy and no vet ever commented on his color. They probably didn't know how rare it is. I only found out years after he passed.
@@ultraytplays 1 in 3000 calico/tortoiseshell will be male/have male parts so pretty rare I would say. This will be either a chimera or have XXY chromosomes and probably be sterile.
Thank you so very much for this video. I lost my Calico over one year ago. My heart is still crushed. She was my best friend and my world. We had a bond that shocked people. She was the most perfect and loving creature I've ever met. She got me through very tough times and she was with me for 19-years. She also saved my life 3-times by waking me before I slipped into a Diabetic coma. I miss her so much. Seeing the beautiful calicos in this video made me smile. Again thank you.😺
This made me cry. A week ago today we lost our 11 month old calico baby. She died in my arms from a disease we couldn't cure. Ive been crying all day. We have her sister, and she is still sad too, but she's getting back to her normal self now. I'm sorry for your heart break. 19 years is an amazing time to have with your best friend, but its never easy. 🧡🖤🤍
Last year I lost my darling Maine Coon tomcat after 18 years , and a couple of years ago another cat at the age of 27. I got the idea of having another cat, tricolored , and what sneaked in my apartment through the open Veranda door and immediately in my heart was Miss Kitty, a Calico, who decided to stay with me for good. She is free to come and go, but always comes back to me. I love her and I think she loves me 💕
I have had to calico cats over the years. They are both rescue cats. My first was called Grace and we got her from Battersea dogs home. The second one is called Velvet and has FIV.
Calico cats find me adorable. Proud to say that! Since my birth I've been discovered by 6 calico cats. Every one of them was girls and every one of them had such different personalities.
i had a calico who just passed away, but he actually was able to have babies and bc i thought he was sterile he got my female calico cat pregnant. im so curious as to what their babies will look like.. shes almost due 🥺
Me and my fam take take care of a calico kitten with emerald eyes. Her name is booger because of those pretty emerald eyes lol. Also i just wanna say u deserver more subscribers and comments like posting is not easy
Thank you for the video, which has prompted me to go shopping for a Maneki Meko. :-) A few years ago we agreed to take on a friend's cat without knowing what we'd get - she was duly delivered and out of the cat carrier stepped an extra large tortoiseshell, tabby and white along British Shorthair lines, with a stripy tail like a bottlebrush. Talk about hitting the jackpot. It took a long time to get her settled and socialised, and she has a good measure of the tortoiseshell attitude (which really is a thing and not a myth). I've had cats all my life on and off, but this one has more personality than all the others put together. We feel very lucky to have her around, and I'm sure she thinks we are too.
My wonderful Sahara (Sassy) is a Calico, and she's super sweet and cuddly. She's turning 13 this year, and I've had her for 9 years, along with her son, Vincent, who turned 9 not too long ago.
My Molly is the same way. You just have to be kind and let her know you love her and tell her she is good. Eventually, she'll believe it. Molly likes to greet people, but will hiss if they try to pet her. Her daddy is the only one who can do that, until she says that's enough. Jon in rural BC, Canada
As a child I had a cat. Now in my 50's I fondly look back on those days and wish for another cat. I know because of my living arrangements it wouldn't work now. I love cats of breeds and coats.
I love the video - especially since we are fostering a calico right now!! Just FYI - in the first point, you mention that the calico is not a breed but rather a coat pattern, but then in another point , you say "...the calico cat BREED was named the official cat of Maryland..."
My cat is a torti and white..or is she? She has a white lower face, white paws, a tricolour belly but tortoiseshell markings on her back, upper face and sides. She is beautiful and has the softest fur!
I was about to adopt one calico kitten and she passed away due to the cold weather and poor alimentation:( but i adopted a tabby kitten tho, i love her, she's so playful. Hopefully she gets a new calico sister or a yellow brother bc i already have names for them lmao 😭
I think it's really interesting that the Calico cat is the state cat of Maryland and the coloring is similar to the state bird and the state butterfly.
I've had over 50 at least in my life, one was a calico. As we may all know cats choose their owners, the calico owned me. I brought two over from california when I moved back to UK. She was a lap cat, she passed aeay in my arms at the age of 19. The other old lady is now 21, thats 100 in human age. I may get another calico at some point. 💋💋💋💋💋💖💖💖🌹💖🌹Great video. Now I will go watch the black cat video now. My Cinders is black except that tiny speck of white on her chest/neck.
My Molly is a calico and her sister, Murphy, is a dark tortie. They look just like their parents, only the calico was their father. So I'm glad you said almost always sterile.
My female tortoise shell Cali, was my baby girl. Affectionate, smart, independent but she was acutely aware of my sadness/moods. She would cuddle me in those times. I miss her dearly. When she got cancer, I was crushed. She was 14.
Pumpkin is my 14 year old Cali! She's reddish brown orange white mix ( cutie white sox) today she had her vets checkup.Being a senior cat & all,having a few health issues) however....mum wore ( me) her healing crystal & Guess what ? Ms Pumpkin got a pretty clean bill of health for a 14 yr old cat! She's only sore now from them poking .& prodding at her. Poor lady.Shes not happy.Nor her happier self. She suffers minor arthritis pain in her back "/ hind quarters area. Ironically I've arthritis in my back! I'm on meds,however, I choose to not give drugs to a cat! Unless things bc to the point she cannot jump. My baby jumps like a 3 yr old in spite of it. Plus she's sweet kind quiet serious natured,never once bitten me! Oh yes bat me no bites though. As w people I do not believe not any 2 cats are the same,even more so as they bc older. Respect,give them plenty of love,& time, & patience! That's been my truth w my Cali cat! So far we are rockin the free world!😸
Anyone with a male calico cat that lived long? I learned my calico cat is male.. i'm sad bc i'm scared to lose him early due to his condition (XXY syndrome) :'(
i have a adorable calico cat named luna she is very smart and very friendly to be sincere she is the most calm and friendly cat i have ever known she always greets me when i arrive from school
Was in on purpose of r in accident if it was on purpose call the police on them that's not okay at all my Tia dislikes cats and I think she killed one of my cats so we don't allow her anywhere near them as she could kill another
No they are not the same, although they look a little similar. Calico’s have white as their base colour with orange and black patches, and tortoiseshells have black with orange flecks. They are also both not breeds, it’s only a fur pattern! :)
i have male kitten, most of his fur is black white, and two (a bit large in my opinion) brown patches only on his forehead. is he calico? im skeptical because male calico is very rare. his mom is calico btw..
@@elizabethparga6181 i just found out it is just tabby. because there are 3 cats that look like him here (including my neighbor's, and his sister's kitten). all male. so, tabby is more make sense than calico..
These felines, is good lucks charm, but the canines, is terrible too.the Japanese, tradition, thats why they, send them, away is a dreadful. Things. Too says that.but is some thing indiv. Needs too understand.you.or others. Can't understood. Don't go too asia, japan,
It's kind of funny, as calico cats are predominantly white with tricolor, with tortie and white (white paws, tortie type coat, and a white splotch on the chin and tum to be called tortico cats by their affectionate "owners" or can-openers
Mines name is Cali, and she is the most talkative cat ever, she meows after every sentence that’s spoken to her, most of the time, and has the obsession of licking plastic bags for EXTREMELY long periods of time lol
So every time you talk to her she alike "meow" that funny to think about and cool lol I also have a click cat and her name is KC she is very adorable but very lazy lol
