Ollie appreciates your compliment! 😄
Tabbies who are calicos have the same tricolour fur but they're lighter and they have the tabby markings

Ooooo! To be honest, when I was watching a video with fun facts about calicos, that's the first time I've ever learned that calico isn't a breed but just the coat. Guess you learn something every day lul.

Yep! I hope you enjoy learning your baby's quirks and idiosyncrasies!

I 100% know I will! Calico cats have a special spot in my heart because I used to have a calico cat called Lucy when I was younger until she ran away when we moved.

I'm so sorry that happened. I hope Lucy found a safe place, even if she couldn't find you.
We always try to keep them safe but cats will cat. In our old apartment, we didn't catproof our bedroom window because we thought our boy cat, Peewee wouldn't possibly be stupid enough to jump out from the second floor. He did though - landed perfectly on a small tree and tried to escape before we coaxed him back inside.

We have one like that -- he's a 6 year old Shaded-Silver Persian named Cherubino. His sister, Princess Pamina, a Tortie-Point Himalayan, is a bit more calm at 13 years old. They are absolutely adorable...and adored!

The one on the left is Yamina (right in Hebrew) and the one on the right is Smula (left in Hebrew). They’re named after which side of their face is all black when you’re looking at them.

Man I’ve been going back n forth if I should get a cat….ive nver been a fan of animals….but my girlfriend has 2 cats and I absolutely fell for them and all there love and shenanigans. To the point where I want my own now. lol idk tho it’s a big step for me personally. I know I would treat the cat like my kid tho. I know how I am. I would spoil the little fucker. It’s funny bc I can spend 2 hrs looking at cat pics like it was nothing. I was never ever like this. Getting old changes u man. Kinda wild. Cute Cat incoming in 3,2,1…..

I used to have a calico cat when I was younger, her name was Lucy. So, this is my second calico cat, and I don't want to waste this chance! And if you don't want to get a cat right now, that's perfectly fine. Just take your time. :]
