FYI, your cat also matches my cat. Also a calico with markings on her head and tail. One thing I always thought funny about Calico's, is that the orange markings arn't there when they are kittens, just the dark ones. My cat has some orange on her hind leg, and when it first started to appear, I thought she'd been pooping on her leg, so started to wash her leg all the time... Until I realized she was meant to be that color.

And hey, did you realize the first cats cloned were Calico's? As I've never seen the mother of my cat, I sometimes wonder if all Calico's are cloned. I see you have mastered the art of cloning your cat into human shape. Go GMO!

The one thing they discovered about Calico's, is that the markings are determined while the cat is in the womb, hence can not be reproduced during cloning.

This now concludes my portion of useless trivia facts.
