Contrary to popular belief, a calicocalico cat is NOT a specific BREED of catcat. It is instead an unusual pattern of COLORING that can occur in many different breeds, including persian, Manx, and Domestic Short-Hair cats. To be considered a calicocalico catcat, a catcat must be tri-colored, with patches of white, red or orange, and black fur. Some breeds have rules as to what percentage of the catcat's fur must be white for it to be called a calicocalico catcat. hope that helps
