No, they are not always inbreed they are like every other living cat. --- Calico cats are simply the result of a ginger or tortoiseshell cat and a black or tortoiseshell cat. The only similarities is that both cats must have some white.

Cats can't tell who there siblings are. So cats will automatically breed when in heat with there siblings / parents. It is not recommended as there can be complications when the kittens are born.

No. "Calico" is just a term for a certain coat colour that is found on some cats. It has nothing to do with a cat's breed.
