The Calico describes a domestic breed of cat with a tri-color coat. The coat is 25%-7% white, but the remainder has large patches of color, usually black and orange. This Halloween kitty is a symbol of fortune and luck in Japan, and Maryland designated it the Official State Cat.

They are the world’s most colorful cats, and you’ll usually find that their personalities match. These cats are mostly female, as their coloring has to do with their X chromosome, but a tiny percentage are male.
