Very cool looking cat! I only recently learned that only female cats can have three colours. (Or at least it’s extremely rare for a male cat to be calico).
From Wikipedia:
Because the genetic determination of coat colors in calico cats is linked to the X chromosome, calicoes are nearly always female,[5] with one color linked to the maternal X chromosome and a second color linked to the paternal X chromosome.[4][6] In most cases, males are only one color (for instance, black) as they have only one X chromosome. Male calicoes can happen when a male cat has two X chromosomes (Klinefelter syndrome, with XXY sex chromosomes and generally they are sterile); the condition is a chimera, with two different cell types;[7] or, rarely, when some skin cells of the developing kitten spontaneously mutate.

That’s really interesting, I didn’t know this. My son’s cat has 3 colours. The vet has him described on his records as tri-colour. Does this mean he’s rare? He’s 14 years old now
