Tricolor cats have a special charm. These cute pets radiate a special energy and positive. Tricolor cats are very popular regardless of the specific breed to which they belong. Today we will take a closer look at these charming pets and find out what features distinguish them.

Features

Tricolor cats are found a little less often than pets of a different color. These lovely and gentle creatures always attract special attention, because they are full of not one, but several contrasting colors with each other. It is believed that only cats, that is, females, have this magical color. In fact, cats can be tricolor, however, much less often.

The direct origin of cute tricolor pets still remains an unsolved mystery.

Only the fact that animals with this non-standard color appeared due to gene mutation and the presence of a special “orange gene” is reliable.

Researcher Neil Todd, who was actively studying the migration of domestic cats in Europe and North Africa, came to the conclusion that there were three-colored animals in the French and Italian port towns, which previously came from Egypt.

It should immediately be noted that such a non-standard color is not a direct sign of a particular breed. He only distinguishes his possessor from the total mass. Often, these baleen pets are called tortoiseshell. The fur of such pets has characteristic red, white and black spots.

Since the tricolor color is not a hallmark of only one particular breed, it is difficult to say about the hallmarks of animals of this color. In most cases, these beautiful and motley animals show themselves quite faithful and loyal to their master.

In addition, their behavior is friendly. Tricolor cats are contact and sociable.

The combination of certain genes that make animals tricolor is found not only in females. Genetics can play such a "joke" with a male. From this, cats do not suffer in anything and do not lose their standard behaviors.

It is worth considering that very often it is tricolor cats and cats that traditionally demonstrate aggression and excessive caution in relation to people unfamiliar to them. These pets usually do not like being touched by a host. Even an examination by a veterinarian can be a serious problem - his touch will cause a strong discontent in the pet.

It should be noted that in most situations, tricolor cats grow up very proud. They love active pastime. If such a beast has a playful mood, then it will be almost impossible to stop and calm him. However, this does not prevent them from becoming lazy at times. A tricolor cat can oversleep almost all day and begin to stay awake with the onset of night.

It is believed that tricolor cats are almost impossible to accustom to the tray - these are the most uneducable pets in this matter. Such animals prefer not to listen to the owner, but to independently look for a place to cope with their needs. If you encounter such a problem, then you should use the advice of veterinarians and put the tray in the exact place that the tri-color cat or cat liked.

Such pets are recommended to pay a lot of attention. You should play with the cat more often, caress, communicate with her. If you follow these tips, you can count on the fact that during the day the animal will get tired and sleep well at night, without disturbing anyone with its loud stomp during the next runs around the apartment.

Tricolor cats often want to give some long elegant and complex name, but in fact it is recommended to call such animals short and simple nicknames.

If this condition is met, the cat can be expected to quickly understand and remember her own name, and will respond better to him.

There are many options for tri-color. Each of them has its own distinctive features and external signs. In addition, such a coloring is divided into solid and patterned. If the cat is the owner of a solid color, then all the colored spots on it will be confused and mixed. If the animal wears a picturesque three-color color, then the borders of the spots will always be clearly visible and distinguishable.

As mentioned above, the original color, combining three different colors, is not a characteristic sign of any particular breed. This color can have representatives of a variety of breeds.
