Why are calico cats sometimes called "money cats"2007-11-25 12:31:33Answers:

Some cultures consider them good luck and male calico's are EXTREMELY rare so people believe they could sell them for a lot of money. Calico is prodominantly female gene and male calicos are actually hemaphrodites. Male calicos are sterile so there is no way to breed two calicos.
