Calicos are a unique type of cat. What sets them apart is their tri-color coat – brown, black & white. Calico cat names are unique names purr-fect for these one-of-a-kind kitties.
The term calico refers to coloration and not a unique breed of cat. That’s why there are calicos for different cat breeds.
Why Are Most Calico Cats Girls?
Calico cats are mainly female because their color is associated with the X chromosome. Females chromosomes pair in the XX fashion, while males have an XY pattern, that’s why females are more likely to be calicos.
However, males can also be calicos when they have an extra chromosome e.g XXY (Klinefelter’s syndrome), but these cats aren’t able to reproduce.
