Calico cats are some of our favorite multicolored cuties. Their spots and splotches are so fun, creating a distinctive look. Calico is a pattern, not a breed, so calico cats can come in different shapes and sizes. However, because of the chromosomes that cause their colorful coats, they are almost always female! A calico kitty is the perfect opportunity for a colorful name that references their unique orange, white and black pattern. From food names like Toffee to flower names like Tiger Lily, these calico cat names are spot on for female or even male cat names for the rare male calico.
