Calico Versus Tortoiseshell Cats

One of the most common misconceptions about calico cats is they’re just similar to tortoiseshell cats. In reality, these are two separate types of color patterns for the cat’s fur. What sets the calico from the tortoiseshell cats is their patches of white. In a tortoiseshell cat, black and orange colors are more prominent with almost no white colors.

Another way to identify calico from tortoiseshell cats is their more spotted and well-defined fur color pattern. In tortoiseshell cats, they have a more marbled color pattern. However, gray calico cats are very challenging to differentiate from tortoiseshell cats. Their gray color appears more blended than the black and orange ones.
