Beautiful cat. I have a dilute calico female that is very sweet, but only to me and my wife. I think this might be more indicative of female cats in general.

Beautiful cat. I have a dilute calico female that is very sweet, but only to me and my wife. I think this might be more indicative of female cats in general. I find more than 1 female in a home is typically a problem, whereas multiple (neutered) males tend to get along better. If I remember correctly, with the exception of genetic anomalies, calicos/tortoise shells are always female and orange tabbies always being male. The other interesting thing I read was that the more white on a calico, the larger the individual color 'splotches'. A calico with no white will have the black and red mixed all over (like your cat).
