- Well, the funny thing is that after seeing over 5000 cats in my life (I worked
- in a vet clinic for several years), I've never seen a two colour cat that had
- orange and something other than white as it's secondary colour. Ie, I've never
- seen an orange and black cat only, or an orange and grey, as mentioned here. I
- do notice that many people misdescribe the colours of their cats. I recently
- adopted a black tabby (tabby, with black being the predominant colour), but
- before I saw her, I was told that she was calico (a tri-coloured cat, mixing
- white, orange and black or grey). And the person who told me she was calico
- was another vet tech!
