Most Challenging Characteristics of the Calico

She has a temper and a diva personality.

When, Where and How I Got My Calico

I got my Calico, Rio from my friend. Her cat, Oreo, had 2 kittens, a Calico female and a black and white male cat. I had recently moved into a new apartment and wanted a pet.

I'd Describe My Cat As…

a total diva. She is a beautiful cat, and she knows it. She was extremely easy to train. She even walks on a leash. She is typically very social and loves people. She enjoys going to the park for walks, and she tolerates car rides better than any cat I've every had. And she is FULL of energy. Her favorite game is fetch which we play with hair bands.

Advice

  • Make sure you give your Calico lots of toys to play with to keep her busy. Otherwise, you'll be constantly cleaning up messes and trying to keep her out of your hair!
