What Is A Calico Exotic Shorthair or Calico Exotic Longhair Kitten?
A calico Exotic Shorthair kitten or calico Exotic Longhair kitten is a tri-color kitten, with white, black, and orange patches. They typically have white faces, chests, and legs. Calicos usually have black or orange foreheads, ears, and backs. Their legs may be either white or colored. Their spots may be more one color than the other, but they must have some combination of the two. They are referred to as a “calico van” if white is the most dominant of its three colors.
What is a Dilute Calico Exotic Shorthair or Dilute Calico Exotic Longhair Kitten?
A dilute calico has the same coloring as calico cats, but “diluted,” meaning dilute calicos are calico cats with less intense color hues. A dilute calico van has these diluted colors but white is the most dominant of her three colors.
