Personality Profile

Calico cats are almost exclusively female, and they seem to know just how special they are. Known for their "tortitude"—a blend of tortoiseshell attitude with extra sass—calicos are strong-willed, opinionated, and never boring. They have distinct preferences and aren't shy about expressing them. These colorful cats are fiercely loyal to their families but can be standoffish with strangers. Each calico has a unique personality as distinctive as her coat pattern.

Living With a Calico

Respect your calico's boundaries and preferences—she'll let you know what she likes. Don't force affection; let her come to you. Provide elevated perches where she can survey her domain. Calicos often bond strongly with one person and may be more reserved with others. Embrace her unique personality!
