Ha!
Well I had dinner with a friend of mine tonight who is our shelter director. She was telling me they had a calico male and was going on about how uncommon they are. I was thinking they were uncommon kind of like yellow females, but she said they were much more rare.
I do tend to confuse calicos with torties..........
I happen to have 2 calico cats. One I would call a tortie, and the other I would call a calico. My 'calico' is my positive, DD. You can see her on the frappster site! I'm trying to get her to come to me right now with no success (to get a nail trim). She doesn't go for the nonchalant act of mine... Both of these cats are female and very domineering, but then so is my female gray tabby. lol. My guys just kind of 'hang out'. What's with that???
I want to join
CaLiCo!!!
