Description
Calico Cat Portrait is an acrylic painting in landscape format painted by the artist Karen Kaspar. It shows the head and upper part of the body of a Calico cat from the side against an abstract green background. The cat is looking to the right. The fur of the calico cat is patterned in black, white and red. These cats are also called tortoiseshell or tricolour.
These cats are also popularly called lucky cats. In many countries, people believe that these calico cats bring good luck and prosperity and protect the house from fire. In the United States, calicos are sometimes called money cats. In Maryland in the United States the state cat is a cat of the calico coloration. Japanese sailors often kept a calico cat as a ship's cat to protect themselves from misfortune at sea.
The owner of this beautiful tricolor or calico cat told me, that only the female cats have the three colors white, black and red as pattern in their fur. This cat had two sons, one was white with black patches, the other one was white with orange patches.
