Almost all calico and tortoiseshell cats are female. It has to do with genetics. In order to have two colors, other than white, you have to have two X chromosomes. Each X only carries one color. Since most cats are XX (female) or XY (male) only females can have the extra color. Occasionally, around 1 in 1000 calico/tortoiseshell cats will be male. Those cats are genetic anomalies which have a sex configuration of XXY. They are male, but they're almost always sterile. This is an old post, but I thought I’d go ahead and tell you.

I could never tell. How do you know that? Is it from the markings? Anyway, I've edited the text to the right sex. Thanks for letting me know. A she!? I could never tell. How do you know that?

I agree the marking on his nose is great. He lives on a barn so I'm sure there is always lots of food around. It was nice to see him again. Thanks. I agree the marking on his nose is great.
