My perfect calico was Sophia-Anne, the smartest pussycat in any universe! She was adept at opening cabinet doors, so I had to install baby proof locks! We would have lengthy conversations, in which each was unsure what the other was saying, but which pleased us anyway. She passed away last February, and I miss her so much. Calico pussycats are very clever and are the best pussycats.

Our calico was Chacha, her black sister was Tango. They made such a beautiful pair together. Rescued littermates.

I’ve had two calicos cats in my life so far and I’ve named them both Callie as I prefer Callie to any other name got them both from family members that had kittens originally the first one was called little Callie cause the person had an older Callie and then mine I got so I shortened it and my second one the other person I got it from originally called it Corona but I didn’t like it being named after the virus so I changed it to Callie cause that’s the name I prefer for my Calicos

It also rolls off the tongue easy.

Skylar – she’s a long haired beauty! I think a long haired calico is rare. She has a sweet personality and is very intelligent. Does your cat retrieve toys? Mine does.
Ceci Aziz on March 17 2019 at 08:07PM
My grand kitty is named Missy Moo because of her Heifer markings. Her pronounced schnoz and prominent eyes round out a very unique and totally cute cat.

I rescued 2 calico sisters at 9 weeks old that were brought into my vet’s office, along with their brother & sister. My prior kitty that passed away was also a calico, so in honour of her, I decided to split the name “Calico” in half, giving my new one cat the name “Cali” and the other “Coco”, since “Co” by itself isn’t a name. So then . . . “Cali” + “Coco” = "CALICO ! !

My rescued baby is Sherkie… My father thought it was a male cat, so he named it after The Jungle Book’s Shere Khan. I told him it was a female cat, and we laughed stating its similarities with the character; so I ended up naming her Sherkie Bagheera Zamora Molina… Yeah she has middle name and last names 😂
Heather on March 02 2019 at 01:49PM
Our calico girl is Sadie Madison. Yes she has a middle name. Yes so do our other two cats. 😂
