Does anyone know what breed this is?

8 Answers  |  Asked By: KatDarklighter   2   

I randomly ran across this picture on the internet, and now I’m just DYING to get a kitten that looks like this!

Does anyone know if this is a type of breed, or just a calico with rare coloring? Has anyone ever seen a cat that looks like this?! Please help!

This picture is a well-known photoshopped joke, and is even listed as a “hoax” color over on messybeast: http://www.messybeast.com/indefinable-colours.htm

The orange color has been added digitally, those cats are not really that color.

This pic is a total fake. They tried to make the kittens resemble foxes but they really dont look like that.

even if this were possible (which it isn’t), it wouldn’t be a calico. no two cats have the same coloring unless they’re breeds are specified to have a certain look. definitely not calico kittens. plus, a calico isn’t a breed. It’s a coloring pattern.

I have a cat ALMOST exactly the same, except those cats are too orange. They REALLY don’t look real, but if you are okay with a more brown cat, my cat is… a mix between some kind of domestic shorthair and a siamese, with a bit of burmese, too. [She had SIX fathers, don't know how that happened]

A cat can only have one father and one mother. Each kitten in a litter can have a different father, but each individual kitten only has one individual father. It's impossible to have six fathers.

that is what i was talking about! cat genetics. here i go again. when 2 different cats combine, it makes another breed of cat. that one right there is a siamese cat/ calico. i can tell because on it’s face, it has black like a siamese. the ears are black like a siamese. the tail is black like a siamese. the paws are black like a siamese. now, calico. it has light stripes like a calico cat. also, shades of white is also calico. so is the orange coloring. on it’s nose, it also has some white like a calico. on the head, orange like a calico. i am going to make one up, ok? here it is : “siamalico”
(siamese mixed with calico) .

hope this helps! :)

one thing to say the hind paws (as you can clearly see) on the kitten lying down are white ( P.S. there are currently 2 words for the same thing in the animal world siamese & himalayan so can we call it himalayan coloring?

a calico is not a breed, it's a color. white cats and grey cats don't have their own breeds and neither do calicos. calico coloring can occur in many different breeds. here is a picture of a calico siamese: http://www.columbiamagazine.com/photos/25986.jpg the picture we're seeing is likely NOT a calico siamese.

And this post is yet more evidence that you clearly have no clue what you are talking about and are just making stuff up and talking out of your you-know-what. The underlying genetics that create a siamese pattern work by changing the temperature at which pigment forms, making melanin form only in areas of the body 98 degrees or less in temperature, thus the poorer circulation in the extremities leading to darker color, you could not get an orange body and black extremities by mating a Siamese cat and a calico-colored cat. This is also why siamese are born competely white (still warm from the womb) and develop color as they age. Calicos are not a breed either but a color that is a result of a female cat having the gene for orange pigment (phaeomelanin) on one X chromosome and the gene for normal pigment (eumelanin) on the other X chromsome, which is why calicos are typically female: males only get one Y chromosome unless they have a genetic disorder such as Kleinfelter's Syndrome. You can have a color-pointed cat with calico points but the color would still be restricted to the extremities. Why don't you actually look up real facts instead of just making up garbage? People might actually believe you.

Males only get one X chromosome I mean, they are XY whereas females are XX
