Hi, I was reading the posts today about Sheba the sweet calico cat. I live with a sweet calico princess named Julie. I will paste a link where you can see her picture:

One person wrote that all the calicos she has seen were a little "pudgy"--well, I would not call Julie pudgy but she is a little on the heavy side (just like me unfortunately {;-)

Julie is also a great talker! She keeps me so much company. I always tell her, "You have so much to say and only one word to say it with!" Well, actually, she can say a lot with that one word "meow" which comes out in all sorts of forms...

She does not lick me, though she is very affectionate in every other way!

Do those of you who have calico friends, find that they share some of these traits in common?

In closing let me say that when Julie came into my life, one of my Russian friends said that "three-colored (calico) cats bring luck." That has certainly been true for me with Julie...Many things in my life have changed for the better since I met her!

My calico Munchkin, Shortie, doesn't have the "normal" meow. She sounds like a newborn baby crying. I'm not sure if it's a trait of the Munchkin breed or just her. But ya gotta love her!!!

Our calico, Ginger, is very chatty. She has distinct meows for every situation. She also has a lovely singing voice - very operatic.

Mitzi isn't very talkative, but she does have a wide variety of sounds she makes when she does meow. The cutest is a little "who-hee" mrrp'ing sound she makes when she wants treats. She's also very, er, um .... plush! :D

Yes, both Muskrat and Lizette are vocal; more so than my other non-calico/tortie kitties. Muskrat is QUITE the yapper, and Lizette is more subtle with her vocalizations. They both have petite, lithe builds and I can't imagine either girl ever having a weight problem. Lizette even has 24 hr. access to dry food yet apparently does not overindulge.

Our cat Coco is an angel-devil. She can be so nice, but she'l turn into a devil if she wants. She is on the plump side. Coco has a baby meow too, like "awrrr" in a soft voice. :D

Our Ginger loves to chat. She has a different meow for each occasion.

I wanted to show my Calico, she is a sweet little lady, and yes, she is on the pudgy side at 20+ pounds. She is not very vocal, all she does is chirp, but never meows. She is a motor when she purrs, she is very loud when it comes to purring. I rescued her from certain death after her "owner" became sick and had to go to the hospital.She was feral, one of a litter that was adopted by hotel workers. When the hotel closed, and her owner/caretaker became sick, she was left homeless. She ventured into a trap put out by exterminating workers. I let her go, and the next morning I took her home. I think she was an AdvoCat. Advocats are a human group that cares for feral cats in Hawaii by trapping and neutering and spaying and then letting them go.They also find parents for any newborns and watch and feed the feral colonies. Sweetie did not get trapped in an Advocat trap,she was caught by an exterminating company trying to rid the grounds of feral cats. Sweetie is dear and I love her very much.;)

HI!
My Calico does not meow.. she chirps.
She is a little on the peculiar side which I have always been told that Calicos are in a class by themselves.

Blessings,

Calicos seem to be different. My calico is very independent, with a real attitude. When she had the "wild crazies" as a kitten it was a riot to watch.
