No, not really, but it can be an indicator of genetics or breed.

Calico cats are almost always female.

Orange cats are almost always male.

Solid white cats are frequently deaf.

There are probably others, but those are the only ones I know.

It is difficult to say. Cats can indeed see limited colour, but it is thought that colour itself is of little importance to cats. A cat is more sensitive to movement of prey, or the smell or taste of food rather than what colour it is.

Cats can tell the difference between red, blue and yellow, and between red and green, although these are less distinguishable. Cats are able to distinguish between blues and violets better than between colours near the red end of the spectrum.

No, it only matters how you love it, tame it, etc. Personally I like the Alley Cat and Persians. They just are my favorite!

Keep your kitties happy!

Some cat experts do think that the color of the cat will affect its personality.

Can cats see colors and what colors can they see?

Cats can indeed see some colors, but not all colors. Research has found that cats have colour-sensitive cones in their eyes, but not as many as a human's. Humans with normal vision have 3 types of cones, while dogs and cats have only 2 types of cones so they do not experience the same spectrum of colour vision that we do. Cats seem to be able to distinguish between higher frequency colors, meaning cats respond to the colors purple, blue, green and possibly yellow range. Red, orange and brown colors appear to fall outside cats color range and are most likely seen as shades of grey or purple. Purple, blue and green appear to be the strongest colors perceived by cats. Tests suggest cats can distinguish between more shades or levels of gray than can humans.

How many kittens can a calico cat have?

Cats can be so many different colors that it is hard to list. There are gray cats, black cats, white cats, brown cats, golden cats, cream-colored cats, rose-colored cats, and even blue cats! Then there are the cats that have mixtures, like the stripped tabby, the patched calico, or the torbie, a mixture of both. Different breeds of cats can have even stranger patterns. For example, the Siamese and Himalayan breeds tend to be a cream color with darker patches on their face, ears, paws, and tail.

Do cats see black and white or colour?

No, they are not color blind. They see some colors, but not all colors. Cats seem to be able to distinguish between higher frequency colors, meaning cats respond to the colors purple, blue, green and possibly yellow range. Red, orange and brown colors appear to fall outside cats color range and are most likely seen as shades of grey or purple. Purple, blue and green appear to be the strongest colors perceived by cats. Tests suggest cats can distinguish between more shades or levels of gray than can humans. Color is of little importance to cats. Their prey is any color of bird, fish, etc. So they hunt by the motion of their prey, not by its color.
