Calico cat

A calico cat is a special kind of cat that has three colors on its fur: black, white, and orange. These colors are all mixed together in a pretty pattern on their fur.

Just like some people have brown hair and some people have blonde hair, cats can also have different colors of fur. But what's special about calico cats is that they have three different colors all mixed together, which makes them look very unique and pretty.

One thing to note is that not all cats with mixed fur colors are calico cats. Calico cats have a specific pattern of white, black, and orange that makes them stand out.

Sometimes, you might also hear a calico cat referred to as a "tortoiseshell" cat. This is because the black and orange colors on a calico cat's fur can sometimes create a pattern that looks like the shell of a tortoise.

So, that's what a calico cat is – a very special and pretty cat with three colors mixed together on their fur!
