Brown,black,white, and tan.. The colors are usually spotted all over the cat’s fur.

“Calico” does not refer to a breed of cat, rather, it refers to the color combination/pattern you asked about. This color combination will consist of red/orange and black on white. A “Muted Calico” will have a cream and blue color combination instead of the orange and black.

In most cases, a calico cat will be female, as this color combination is dependent on the presence of two X chromosomes. Male cats with the calico coloring are very rare, as most males only have one X chromosome. When the presence of an additional X occurs, the cat will generally be sterile.

calico is in a variety of colors like or orange and white and black and white

my calico is white black and ornge.Also a girl

black, white, and a redish orangy color.

Normally they are the same color as the male, Orange, black and white.

Sorry but there are no male calicos. Only females can have three colours. It has to do with chromosones. If there is a male calico he would usually be infertile.

I'm going to give a lesson on genes ! The female cat (XX) has two X cromosomes , while the male (XY) has only one. The X cromosome carrys two differant color genes, red, and black ( ONE color per cromosome) The female (XX) has 2 X cromosomes so it can be BLACK and RED at the same time ! The only way for a "calico" Male to exsist ( wich is rare ) os like this , NORMAL MALE (XY) "CALICO" MALE (XXY)
