That head boops from an adopted calico is pretty freaking cool

1. Calicos are almost always female

Almost
Males are rare

2. And ginger cats are mostly male. I had one that was female though.

Rare too. I don't get head bops but i do get followed from room to room by my 'fan' Captain Morgan who is a grey tuxedo. Then i get accupuncture from my black female who sheds like there is no tomorrow. Fur persons are the best.

9. Not really rare but uncommon

Male orange tabbies make up about 80% of the orange tabby population. Female orange tabbies are uncommon, say one out of every five are female, but they aren't rare.

10. Okay. Uncommon. She was really light blond ginger. I have not seen that

elsewhere. Lent her to my dad when i moved out of province. Of course she fell in love with him. So Sam became his. Dad paid to have her cremated when she died. So she's still with us.

7. Open up a free account at a photo hosting site like Postimage.

https://postimages.org/ Upload your photos to the site, then select the link for the photo and copy it to your DU post.

8. or you can you Imgur.com

create an account. click New Post to add or drag images into. then once done when you click on the picture it gives you many ways to copy the picture. usually the first or second link work.

6. I have a deep afinity for calico's and for some reason they are drawn to me

This particular cat came with the place i bought. The owner and I talked it over and we both agreed that this place is all she's ever known since she was a tiny little rescued kitten and it would probably be a bad thing to move her. Since i really love calico's in all shapes and sizes it was no brainer

She's seriously sweet and usually sleeps on the head of my recliner.

My other cat, a bottle baby, is a hyperactive pie-eyed jerk, and can usually be found bouncing off the walls (i'm not kidding) doing some serious "Airbender" nonsense, only being sweet when she needs something
