There is an opinion that only cats, that is females, possess this magical color. In fact, cats can be tricolor, though 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 a gene mutation and the presence of a special “orange gene” is credible.

Researcher Neil Todd, who was actively involved in studying the migration of domestic cats in Europe and North Africa, concluded that tricolor animals had occurred in French and Italian port towns, which had previously been from Egypt.
