Calico

"Calicos are very playful Catz, and may even do tricks for treatz!" Calicos are a breed of cat. They were one of the original five breeds included with Catz, where they were known as "Jester". Importing Jester into Petz II would give you a Calico.

Catz
"The fun-loving Jester breed treats everything like a game."

Catz II
Calicos are multicolored cats with cheerful personalities. Their tails are kinked.

They frequently hold their eyelids at different heights, which may be frustrating for showing.

Calicos are perhaps the most popular Catz breed with the community, possibly due to their outgoing personalities and patchwork-colored mixed breeds. Their proportions lend themselves nicely to hexing, as well.

Color Variations Calicos come out of the Adoption Center in three color variations: white-capped, orange-capped, and black-capped. These determine how color is distributed on the rest of the body. Their eyes are always 2 and their eyelids are always 105.

All Calicos and Calico descendants with their coat type follow the same "blocks" of separately-colored coat areas, allowing for specifically-bred appearances like Gypsies.

All first-generation Calicos have paintball spots, as little as 2 and as many as 23, with some different spots depending on which color variation they are. Like all original paintball markings, these do not mutate. They can be bred out to reduce some or all of them. These include:

Breeding
Calico color patches all pass on independently of one another.

Improved Files

 * Ratqueen Kennelz & Cattery hosts a version without the Paintball color patches, but replaces the personality with the Russian Blue personality for easier showing.
 * Black Mist Crittery made a Fuzzy Calico.
 * Corvus Corax has an "Improved" Calico with fuzz and slightly-tweaked proportions.

Trivia

 * Calicoes are one of the breedz that had real-life stuffed toys created of them to coincide with the original Catz game. However, while it appears in commercials and on the toy packaging, the Jester plush never seems to have made it to retail.
 * Calicos are the only breed besides Chinchilla Persians to use a forced gender command, using [Force To Female] to make only 25% of Adoption Center Calicos male, imitating how real-life calico cats are almost always female. Purebred and mixed Calico kittenz have the same 50/50 gender ratio as every other breed in the game.
