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.

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.
He looks like a calico i thinkhe's a tortoiseshell with yellow eyes. He's on the cover of Long ShadowsSol is a mottled, tall, stocky, well muscled, sleek, long-haired, dark, brown and bright, tortoiseshell tom with pale yellow eyes, a face that tapers at the muzzle, a curving tail bushed at the tip, large, wide spaced, tufted ears, and a broad head.- I got this from the warriors wiki, which is why it's so detailed.Maybe like this?;http://www.catfacts.org/tortoiseshell-and-calico-cat-facts.jpg
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.
No, they are not always inbreed they are like every other living cat. --- Calico cats are simply the result of a ginger or tortoiseshell cat and a black or tortoiseshell cat. The only similarities is that both cats must have some white.
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.
This pattern is called tortoiseshell. If it has a considerable amount of white, it is called calico.
Some common cat fur patterns include tabby, calico, tortoiseshell, and tuxedo.
