Cute Furbabies That Vets Just Had to Take a Photo of

This Cat Was Only the Second Male Calico the Vet Has Seen in Over 5 Decades of Working

Calico cats are famous for their striking tri-color coats and the fascinating fact that they are almost always female. So, when a rare male Calico kitten walked into the clinic, the experienced vet couldn’t believe their luck. It’s no wonder they felt compelled to snap a photo of the little furbaby—after all, less than 1 in 1000 Calico cats worldwide are male

In over 54 years of practice, this was only the second male Calico the vet had ever seen. Talk about a pinch-me moment! What makes male Calicos so rare? It all comes down to genetics. Male Calicos are typically born with a rare chromosomal anomaly, making them a true marvel of nature. This kitten’s arrival not only amazed the vet but also highlighted the wonders of feline genetics. Who wouldn’t be thrilled to witness such a rare and adorable phenomenon?
