Do you know calicoes are known as “money cats” who bring luck in the US? Maneki-Neko, which also means “Calico Cats”, are the symbols of luck in Japan. Calico cats give people a nice and warm atmosphere when they are around. They are very loyal, friendly, yet playful as well. Most calicos are female and male calico kitties are normally sterile.

However, felines who have a genetic mutation with a solid color or pointed markings don’t own these colorful patches.
