Do calico cats get along?

Calico cats are mostly female because of genetics. The term calico refers to a cat that is three colors, now it is possible for male cats to be calico, but it is a rare condition. The X chromosomes display the colors orange and black, and the white is in a totally separate gene. Because female cats have two x chromosomes (xx) they are able to display two colors along with white. now, it is more complicated than that, but that's that basics of it.. although male cats have an x and a y chromosome (xy) the event that male cats have two x chromosomes and a y chromosome (xxy) is very rare, and they are normally sterile. which means they cant breed. there is a similar condition in humans called Klinefelter's syndrome, or XXY Syndrome.

Why are most calicos female?

Almost all calicos are females. A male calico may be sterile and have deformities. This is because male cats only have one X chromosone, and calicos need two of them to produce the calico coat. This is the same for tortiseshell cats, too. Hope I helped

Hi there...like any other domestic cat they require a diet rich in animal protein and taurine. Even pedigree cats require the same dietary needs as a calico cat. Exotic cats however require a diet which is more suitable for their order of carnivora species. Hi there...like any other domestic cat they require a diet rich in animal protein and taurine.
