Tortie calicos, like other cats, typically go into heat for about 1 to 7 days. The heat cycle can vary in duration and intensity, with some cats experiencing a more pronounced heat than others. If they do not mate, they may go back into heat every two to three weeks until they are either bred or spayed.

What will the kittens of a blue tabby and a tortie look like?
Kittens from a blue tabby and a tortie (tortoiseshell) can inherit a variety of coat colors and patterns. They may display a mix of the tabby stripes with the mottled colors of the tortie, resulting in a range of possible looks including classic tabby patterns in shades of gray and cream, as well as tortie-like patches. The exact appearance will depend on the specific genetics of the parents, but expect a diverse litter with unique combinations of colors and patterns.

What is a diluted tortie?
A diluted tortie, or dilute tortoiseshell, is a cat coat pattern characterized by a mix of pale colors, typically gray, cream, and soft pastels, instead of the more vibrant black and orange seen in traditional tortoiseshell cats. The dilution of color occurs due to a genetic variation that lightens the pigments. This pattern can appear in various cat breeds and is often associated with female cats, as the tortie coloring is linked to the X chromosome.
