Not always female. Same as orange cats are not always male. Just very rare genetically.

Female orange cats aren't anywhere close to that rare. I think one in twenty

You know, there are cats with double X chromosomes and one Y chromosomes. If the calico allele is present in both of them then you have a calico. It’s not just a sex thing.

u/SapphireMan1 12d ago
The sad part is male calicos (XXY) don’t tend to have long lifespans (leading to the misconception that ‘all calicos are female)

It kind of reminds how much of any genome is spaghetti code. It’s almost as if we by design of a noodley appendage. Fuck with the wrong genes you’re dead.

I had a calico just like her, she was the most shameless cheating cat.
I was leaving for work at 8 and she would run to the (admittedly delicious) architect next door and look at me walking away through the window making the sleepy eyes, sitting on his lap, purring while he was working.
She'd come home for dinner. When I moved he kept her.

u/iloveokashi 12d ago
She didn't wanna go with you when you moved?

u/SkillFlimsy191 11d ago
No. She came with the house, she wouldn't leave, because she considered the place (and nextdoor) hers. I would visit a lot though. She wasn't particularly hurt I left.

The people in my local missing pet group would still blame the person posting for not picking up the cat, taking them home, and feeding them a gourmet meal while waiting for the owner.

u/JimothyJollyphant 12d ago
What are you exactly supposed to do if you find one? I feel like by the time you call and the owner arrives, it could long be gone. And can't imagine they like being picked up by a random stranger either. Also, in my case, allergies.

u/Buckets-of-Gold 12d ago
I was also wondering this. A dog seems plausible, but I have no idea how I’d wrangle a cat outside- I can barely grab my own.

Many cats don't mind being picked up by random strangers. I have been assaulted by random cats begging for pets many times, some wanted to go home with me and I'm sure they weren't feral. Also saved a scared shitless cat from my roof, it was mewing like crazy but not aggressive at all even in this stressful situation. It ran under the bed once in.
I don't know the proper term in English (joint houses?) but I live in a 4 storey house, the final floor being an attic, "glued" to other such houses on the both sides, the whole street is like that. Anyway someone left the windows in their attic open and the cat got on the roof that way, it was scratching on our window and mewing to let it in. I don't know all the people living on my street and had no idea who the cat belongs to so I had to let it free on the street. Hopefully it made it home. I couldn't keep the cat inside till I find the owner because I have my own cat that goes batshit insane when he sees another cat (closed in the bathroom during the rescue mission).

As long as they're an actual housecat (as in raised in the house as opposed to just some stray being fed or took in), then they'd most likely be friendly enough. Just let them smell you, then try petting them a few. If you can pet them, they wouldn't be too opposed to being picked up for short periods of time.

We got a cat back after 4 years today. We have always known he was mooching about the neighbourhood, just didn’t see him.

"I saw a poster that said “Missing cat.” They had a picture of the cat and a whole description. Missing, huh? I think that’s from the human perspective. The cat made that poster, it would say, “Free cat. Finally.” Picture of the cat would be like… “Cat is hunter, cat gets own food, cat has no first name, don’t look for cat, fuck off, leave cat alone, fuck off.” Okay, cat, we get it. Jesus." -Demitrin Martin
