We had a calico once. We got her when we were married for one month. I know calicoes are usually girls, & I did hear that orange kitties are usually males, but I only heard that lately, from someone at work. I never had an orange cat, but they are pretty.
Mary -- that depends on the size of your mug rugs. The Mug Rug Swap requires the mug rugs to be at least 9"x8", which would make a very large coaster! Prior to joining the mug rug swap, I made my mug rugs 6"x8", but that's still very big for a coaster. Or are you referring to the way they're made? If that's the case, then forget what I just said. And, in that case, I would agree with you.
