这是我查的关于calico cat的资料.上面有说calico并不是说是猫的一个品种,是说的猫的颜色,这个词我想用比较通俗的中文翻译就是三花猫.而且资料上有讲说calico cats一般来说都是母猫,公猫的calico cat是基因异常的,并且一般是不育的.
Effective October 1, 2001, the calico cat became the official cat of Maryland (Chapter 194, Acts of 2001; Code State Government Article, sec. 13-317). Its colors of orange, black, and white are shared with the Baltimore oriole (State bird) and the Baltimore Checkerspot butterfly (State insect).
Calico is not a breed of cat, but an unusual coloring occurring across many breeds, including Domestic Short-hair, Persian, and Manx. Virtually all calico cats are female; a male calico is a genetic anomaly and usually sterile.
