This one is styled as a popular cat in Japan, the Calico, or Tortise shell. Generally a good portion of these cat are actually female, but the odd percentage can be male once in a blue moon, so to speak. Calico cat’s are among one of my favorite types of cats. I simply adore how perfectly white their fur can be, then have odd patches of black and brown/orange. Another variation of the Calico is the Tortoise Shell. They typically have more patches of black, with brown flecks. Sometimes they can be a Chimera! Cat’s that have one side of their face black, and the other brown–divided near perfectly down their face, are called chimera. (Like a mix of two). It’s such a fascinating marking.]]> http://crystalmcnair.com/artwork/digital-felt-painting-calico-cat/feed 0
