Calico kitten what should you breed her with to most likely get another calico out of her litter?

If I understand the question correctly, you have a calico female that you want to produce another calico? The best suited tom would be black and white, preferably with lots of white. The result is around half of the female offspring will be calico, half black and white, with a slight chance of one having brown in its coat. Alternatively you can use a ginger and white tom, with half of the females being ginger and white, although there is a greater chance of the other half being tortoiseshell-tabbies or brown, ginger and white.

Can a orange and white cat be a calico cat?
No. Calico is often large areas of white with two other colours, usually orange and black. The Calico colouring can be found in many different breeds of cat. If a cat is just orange and white, it is not a calico. The coat colour is likely a Red (orange) Tabby and White.

The Calico cat is very likely to be female. It is a genetic trait that seems to be tied into the same genetics that govern their coat color.

How long do calico cats live?
From what I understand calico cats are all female. There are no male calico cats.thats not completely true ..male calico cats are born very rarely about 1-3000 calico cat births..they are always sterile so they are not worth any money..Actually, a few male calico/tortoiseshell cats arefertile. They are more likely the result of mosaicism rather than an XXY chromosomal anomaly, which causes infertility. Whatever the cause, though, they still aren't particularly valuable, because neither a chromosomal anomaly or a developmental anomaly like mosaicism is a genetic trait that can be passed on to their offspring.
Can calico cats be boys?
Yes they can, but male calicos are very rare. Calico is not a breed, its a coat pattern that needs two x chromosomes, in order to make a male you need an x and a y but sometimes ( every one and 3,000 ) you will find a male calico with two x chromosomes. If you are lucky enough to have a male calico they are worth thousands and thousands of dollars. they are nicknamed "million dollare cat" "money kittey" and "pay check cat"
How much do male calico cats cost?
since Calico is just a color not a breed, it depends what kind of cat it is . most are just average domestic housecats and arent worth much Answer They are priceless, interesting pets with an attitude. Often cranky, they are always female cats. Some cultures call them "money cats," because they bring good fortune.
Can you identify the sex of the cat through its color?
If the cat has orange and black/gray, it is most likely to be female. That is because the combination of the orange with black/gray is sex linked to females. It is the same story with calico cats--they are always female.
Can female calico cats have babies?
no they dont die at birth. They may have shorter lives than regular cats. The reason of male calicos appearing is because there was something wrong in the sex cell of the parent. Most likely an extra chromosome or a mutated one

It is most likely, unless either carry a gene for shorthair which they could have gotten from anywhere in their background.
Do cats need company?
Not nesesarily, if you play with your kitten or give attention regularly, you don't need another kitten, but if the kitten is alone a lot, it might be a good idea to get another one for it to play with. It's also good to get another kitten while your kitten is young, because as it gets older, it will be more likely to protect its turf, and may not let other cats come in to its house.
What was Anne Bonny's treasure?
There is no concrete evidence to suggest that Anne Bonny had a specific treasure. As a pirate, she plundered ships and participated in acts of piracy in the Caribbean alongside other notorious pirates such as Calico Jack. It is likely that any riches she acquired were shared among the pirate crew.
