r/CalicoCats

This happened some years ago and I decided to show It to the world. Luckily for my group, we had already presented the project by the time this happened.

Hi there!! My name is waffles. I’m 5 years old now! I also have my own instagram if you want to follow me :) (@waffles_thecalico)

My sweet girl watching me leave for work lol🥹please ignore the cat hair on my blinds

This is my Nibblet, and I was recently informed that she's an aberration as far as calico temperament goes. Let me back up a bit. I've had at least one tortoiseshell cat in my life since I was 6 years old. A month after my then tortie passed due to old age, my roommate (we're terrible enablers for each other) and I were at the pound, and I really wanted another tortie. Well, they didn't have any, but they did have a feral-caught calico kitten. They told me she was 8 weeks old, but she was TINY. And since I've been told that calicos are as spicy as torties, I thought this was perfect. Especially since she BIT my roommate's finger ^________________^

Her spiciness lasted a grand total of 3 hours. I have never had such a happy-go-lucky cat in my life. She's the benevolent dictator of my current crew, whose calm glance keeps the others in line.

Don't get me wrong! I love my sucky girl who comes up to demand mommy snuggles. I just wanted to share my unicorn.

This is my sweet but sassy calico cat Boudica who was destined for a life of adventure.

First, she worked with me at a wilderness therapy drug rehab center, then we lived regular house-life for a few years with frequent leash walks around the yard.

Now, we’ve been living in a van for over 3 years!

These days, I only put her on a leash when I must (e.g. when it’s required in National Parks). Other than that, she wears a collar with an AirTag and seems to understand where camp is, that the van is home, and that staying with mama = safety.

I can’t believe she’s been my best bud for almost a decade now—longer than most people I know! So I thought I’d share with yall. :)

Our new feral rescue, a little pixie dilute named Stormy. She looks like a storm Cloud in color and attitude. We adore her.

Braincell being put to use.

My daughter and I are forever curious about what kind of coat pattern our gal has. Her adoption paperwork says she’s a dilute calico, but she’s definitely got some tabby in there, too.

She is fine she has been doing since she has been a baby and the vet checked her and he said cats do this when happy she is VERY BIG AND CUTE AND ACTUALLY PERFECT, she is a very hard working biscuits maker btw her working hours are mostly 3 am on my belly fats 😂
