Although there are male calico cats, the female calico cat tends to be a sweet and affectionate companion. Calico cats are domestic cats of medium size with distinctive white spots on their body. They are multi-faceted and can enjoy all the company of their family.
This cat type doesn’t have a defined breed but its fur pattern is unique. In addition to white, calico cats are often called "piebald" cats. Piebald cats have different loci than those with black/orange hair. They have white patches, or unpigmented fur. This is good news for both owners and cats.

Declawing a cat may sound like an easy nail trim, but it's actually an invasive procedure. Your veterinarian will use a saw to trim the joint. This will allow you to get the entire toe off, from the bottom of your claw to the last knuckle. Cats are naturally active creatures, and they need to scratch and use their claws as a form of exercise and stress relief. It is crucial to know what to expect during cat declawing.
Inky is a barncat
Inky is a Barn Cat from Cat Adoption Austin. Inky has been living in a brewery for more that a year. Inky was originally found in a house with tons of waste. Her new home is an open and vibrant commercial kitchen. She's playful, friendly, and not overly affectionate.
If a brewery is infested with mice, its owners aren't willing to use chemical pesticides to eradicate the problem. Traditional traps with cheese and peanut butter won't work. BARCS suggested adopting a barn cat. Inky killed about half a dozen mice in less than a week. Foster and Marshall soon became close friends and Inky eventually joined the family.
