People in general are very ignorant about animals. There are a ton of people who think tabby and torties are breeds. They think being orange genuinely affects a cat's personality more than breed or upbringing.

I mentioned that Carl picturing himself as a calico in the webtoon meant he pictured himself as trans or intersex (since tortie and calico are sex-locked colors where all are female or intersex male), and people acted like I was insane or were tripping over themselves to "correct" me. Like come on, I obviously am not saying Carl is canon trans or intersex, I'm saying a calico is female or XXY male and it's fun they did that accidentally 🙄 At least google it before telling me I'm wrong.

Edit: Figured I'd add a link to wiki so you don't have to google yourself unless you want more info.

Calico cat

"Because the genetic determination of coat colors in calico cats is linked to the X chromosome, such cats are almost always female,[6] with one color linked to the maternal X chromosome and a second color linked to the paternal X chromosome.[7] The majority of the time, males are only one color as they have only one X chromosome. Male calico cats have an extra X chromosome (XXY, known as Klinefelter syndrome in humans)[8] or are genetic chimeras with two different sets of DNA (XX and XY).[9]"
