I once lived with a male Calico and he was a retrieving cat. I would throw a beer cap, the cat would play hockey with it then pick it up with his mouth and deliver it to my open hand. He would play for an hour or so and was a joy.
He was an amazing cat and quite love-able too. He loved to be petted and would turn on the purr and dough making machine. I was not his owner and he would only sleep with his owner and his long-haired sister calico. He was very loyal. @@badazzkaz
@Mooni_cat My cat passed away too but I keep fond memories of her that still live on in my heart, mind, and soul. Better to have experienced a part of life with her than without, she was a gift. God Bless 😊❤️
Because cats feel so great to pet and snuggle, and they don't stink. They also don't lick your face constantly and all the while with horrid breath and slobber. Dogs on the other hand 😬🤮
@@BlynatThat's because it's just due to a gene being expressed rather than a rare genetic abnormality. If a female has one orange gene, she is a calico. If a male has one orange gene, he's orange. A female needs both of them to express as an orange cat.
Not even close to as rare. Orange Tabbies are like 80% male. Where as this is 1 in 3,000. And they also aren’t born sterile like male Calicos are. Male Calicos have Klinefelter syndrome (having xxy chromosomes like explained in this video) and it’s due to an error in their genetic code which is why they are born sterile and are also much more likely to suffer serious health issues. Orange Tabbies have none of that. They are just more likely to be male but it’s not as rare as a male Calico and have none of those other problems.
Female orange tabby cats aren't really rare, because I've seen two orange tabby cats on RU-vid, which is Penny (channel is PennytheGingerCat), and Mittens (owner is Briddy on YT)
I won all the luck in the world when God sent a family to gift me a calico and her tortie kitten for free. I was in the market for a russian blue boy and i got two gorgeous girls that have healed my depression and improved my self esteem and eased me out of social anxeity. I am always thinking of how to reward them, i love my girls so much. (Opera the tortie is on my lap as I type this. I love my life)
I have a female and she has a funny habit.If I throw her any small toy or anything else she can pick up.She always brings it back to me like a dog.😂She also likes doing the odd zoomie.
is this a calico habit because my female calico cat always do this. she's so energetic and playful and basically like a puppies that loved playing fetch 😅
The explanation doesn't make sense cause even if it was X-linked recessive gene males require only one X chromosome to inherit the tricolor , i think you misunderstood the difference between X-linked and sex effected genes like bold genes ,and even then it doesn't have to be XXY so im pretty sure both of these are not the reap cause
Me and my family thought our kitten was male but then the vet calrified she was female but mine is still rare bc she is either is med hair or long haired but rare or not i still love her very much
I had one she was a outside cat and one day we let her go out and...my family could not find her I was crying my brothes to (I'm Emotional about that day)
They say a new born male calico cat will eventually be attacked and killed by adult male cats because once they grow up they will end up all as a leader and dominant of all cats..sorry for my English
my male kitten color are mostly white and orange but there's a pretty sizeable patch of black fur on the left side of his abdomen..is he a male calico?
I wouldn’t call it the opposite because Orange Tabbies are like 80% male. Where as this is 1 in 3,000. And they also aren’t born sterile like male Calicos are. Male Calicos have Klinefelter syndrome (having xxy chromosomes like explained in this video) and it’s due to an error in their genetic code which is why they are born sterile and are also much more likely to suffer serious health issues. Orange Tabbies have none of that. They are just more likely to be male but it’s not as rare as a male Calico and have none of those other problems.
When i heard how they're rare , my mind was like "omg , i have a male calico cat ...does that mean i can breed them and make more male calico cat???" Until he said they're sterile........
It’s not really exactly the opposite. Orange Tabbies are like 80% male. Where as this is 1 in 3,000. And they also aren’t born sterile like male Calicos are. Male Calicos have Klinefelter syndrome (having xxy chromosomes like explained in this video) and it’s due to an error in their genetic code which is why they are born sterile and are also much more likely to suffer serious health issues. Orange Tabbies have none of that. They are just more likely to be male but it’s not as rare as a male Calico and have none of those other problems.
I don’t know what the differences are between them but they are exactly like how Calico cats are as explained in this video where they need 2 X chromosomes to be one so it needs 2 X’s and a Y to be a male. They are just as rare as calico’s as well (1 in 3,000). What differences they have is not knowledge that I have.
My calico cat has given birth to 2 male calico cats but my grandfather doesn't want an cat army but he only let 1 male calico cat live whit me but one day i was at weekend's somewhere else and my calico male cat got lost
My Doctor is a moron, he told me the cat was a female and no it was infact male. He also knocked up two of my cats, and I can't sue it was 30 years ago.
Even if he wasn't, he won't sire more male calicoes, unless one of his kittens also happens to get the XXY abnormality which will still be a 1:3000 chance. An abnormality like that doesn't pass in the normal course of reproduction, it has to happen on its own.
I have a kitty named destiny she is a calico I also have a blue Russian named Anastasia but … destiny is. Missing at the moment,. Anastasia keeps trying to look for her 😢 destiny is a special cat… she has a backwards D on her forehead I miss her I hope she comes back to my house soon 😢
Yeah, animals often can't handle the complications that come with a third set of chromosomes. Plants, meanwhile, gain a lot from it. They often grow larger and bear larger fruits, and don't suffer the same health issues
Your explanation doesn't make sense cause even if it was X-linked recessive gene males require only one X chromosome to inherit the tricolor , i think you misunderstood the difference between X-linked and sex effected genes like bold genes ,and even then it doesn't have to be XXY so im pretty sure both of these are not the real cause.
Unlike humans where chromosomes can be changed at will! Or so done people think. (Well they go something with their brains but I doubt if it’s thinking.)
