Calico cats are characterized by their three-colored coats and are also known for being almost exclusively female. This is because the genes that determine coat color are related to the sex chromosomes.

For cat lovers, not only the adorable coloration of calico cats but also this genetic mystery of being almost all female is an irresistible point.
