The tortoiseshell pattern is often made up with several colours such as black and red (orange), but can also include a mixture of brown, chocolate, cream, or cinnamon. The size of the patches can vary from a fine speckled or mottled pattern to large areas of colour. The colours and patterns widely vary from cat to cat.
A calico cat is white with tortoiseshell-type patches of colour, typically black and red, although other colours can be present, also.
A calico and tortoiseshell cat can appear in the same breed. Neither type of cats refer to specific breed, instead speaks of a coat pattern found on a cat.
A tabby has stripes on its forehead usually that look sort of like an M. Look at pics closely and you can see it!! :) That's my own way of telling its either all tabby or part tabby. A tortishell cat has not patches but brindled brown and black fur. A Calico which people confuse for Tortishells has Brown , Black and white fur that's patched. :) --- A normal tabby cat has no ginger in its fur, which is the definition of a tortoiseshell. Cats can also be torbies, which is a tortoiseshell-tabby. In this pattern, the cat has ginger patches, and you will see tabby markings on the face and body where there is no ginger. In a tortoiseshell, the ginger patches always have tabby markings whether the cat is a tabby or not.
Yes and no. Some tri-colored cats aren't calico but all calicos are tri-colored cats. To be considered a calico cat, a cat must be tri-colored, with areas of white, orange, and black hair.
Calico and tortoiseshell have some things in common. They are both color patterns in cats that are rarely found in males, and they both display black, orange, and white. The main difference is that the tortoiseshell color also has a dilute gene, making it essentially a faded version of calico.
By peach I expect you mean ginger. No, 90% of ginger cats are male just as 90% of calico/tortoiseshell cats are female. Those two colours are part of the same mutation, Ginger being male and tortie being female but there is cases of ginger females and tortie males.
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.

Even though guinea pigs are the same color as calico cats they are not calico, so they do not have the same gene dominations. Argo, yes.
Tortoiseshell cats should be fed a balanced diet that includes high-quality commercial cat food to ensure they receive the necessary nutrients. It is important to consult with a veterinarian to determine the best diet and feeding schedule for your specific tortoiseshell cat. Additionally, fresh water should always be available for them to drink.
Calico cats age the same as all cats, see the chart in the link below.
Yes they are the same, calico critters are the American version of sylvanian families.
the same as there mum unless you mix breed it
Calico cats can have the same amount of kittens as any other cat. Calico is a certain coat pattern, not a separate breed.
