How to find out your happiness: breeds, types and color features
The tricolor color is also called tortoiseshell, due to the similarity of the pattern to the shell of a reptile. Shades of primary colors can be varied: cream, brown, gray, blue, etc. As you know, in nature there are no absolutely identical animals, so the pattern on the fur is always individual.
There are two most common types of three-color colors:
- Calico - can be recognized by a large number of black and red spots, with a minimum of white ones, they do not have clear boundaries and are located in a chaotic order. Animals with this color are jokingly said to wear camouflage.
- Harlequin - if most of the animal’s body is one color, most often white, and other shades are located in spots, for example, stripes on the tail, “blots” on the head or funny “socks” on the paws, then you have a representative of the “harlequin” color.
An interesting fact is that mostly females have lucky colors. Due to genetic characteristics, males of this color can be found extremely rarely; for every 3 thousand females there is only 1 male, which, as a rule, cannot produce offspring. The birth of such a kitten occurs as a result of a genetic error. It is believed that tricolor cats bring double luck and happiness, since the appearance of such a rare specimen in the house without the smile of Fortune is impossible.
