Fun fact: while almost all calico cats (tricolor coat) are female, around 1 in 3,000 are males with an extra X chromosome, a condition known as Klinefelter syndrome. As a result, they are almost always sterile. About 1 in 10,000 male calicos are fertile.
That’s genuinely awesome stats you’re claiming! I feel doubly blessed for my orange little lovely lady who ran the house.
Her bigger also orange twin brother? Dominated. The big fuckoff dog? Dominated. She ran the indoor animals.
The only animal she didn’t run over was our elder statesmen cat, who was big and brilliant in equal measure. My dear boy was the largest cat I ever saw, and would understand language to a frightening degree.“Go see X”, “Come Here”, “stop”, and any mention of “Vet” was well interpreted :)
Orange and calico are just some of the possible colorings of a cat’s fur and don’t determine its breed (although some breeds are known for having distinctive colors and patterns).

Also, around 80% of orange cats are male.
