 called Klinefelter's syndrome. Which makes the male calico cat sterile.
How do you tell if your calico kitten is male?
It's not. True calico cats can only be female.
Is it possible for the calico cats to breed true?
Is it true that yellow cats can only be male?
No. Female cats can be yellow also. I have 5 of them.
How often are male calico cats born and live?
From what I understand calico cats are all female. There are no male calico cats.thats not completely true..male calico cats are born very rarely about 1-3000 calico cat births..they are always sterile so they are not worth any money..Actually, a few male calico/tortoiseshell cats arefertile. They are more likely the result of mosaicism rather than an XXY chromosomal anomaly, which causes infertility. Whatever the cause, though, they still aren't particularly valuable, because neither a chromosomal anomaly or a developmental anomaly like mosaicism is a genetic trait that can be passed on to their offspring.
No, it is not true that all calico cats are female, buy a very high percentage is. The calico color comes from the females having 2 X genes. One X has one color and one has a different color making the black and tan part of the coloring. Males have only one X so they would be either black or tan/orange. There are rare cases however where the male is XXY. Since it has 2 X chromosomes it has both colors and thus can be a calico. XXY is a genetic defect so it is rare, but it does happen and that's how a male calico is formed.
What if your cat is two colors is he a calico?
Not necessarily. A calico cat is only female, due to genetics, while all tabby cats are males. A calico is typically white with orange and black patches in its pelt. Well that is not quite true. Most tabby cats are male and most calicos and tortoiseshells are females, but not all of them. They are very rare, but they do exist. Also, calicos of any gender must be orange, white, and black, or ginger, cream, and gray, in distinct patches.
Is it true that only male cats can be ginger?
Is it true that tortoiseshell cats can only be female?
There are male tortoise shells, but they're rare. The coat pattern required for a tortoise shell is mainly found in female cats though.
Is it true that only Siamese cats can bear calico kittens and please explain why or why not?
no that is not true calico kittens can be born to just about any breed of cat. I myself have two calicoes, their mother was a black/orange tortie and the father a orange longhair tabby. also in the litter was a two black and white males and an orange tabby male.
Why do female cats who are fixed disappear suddenly?
I don't think this is true! Female spayed cats are not more likely to disappear. Unneutered male cats are more likely to stray.
Is it true that two colored cats are always male cats?
I don't have a scientific answer for you, but I have a female cat with gold and tiger orange fur, so I would say no. Hope this was helpful. :) --- No, two coloured cats can be male or female.
Why are female cats dominant when sharing food?
that's not always true in fact my cat (male) eats my sisters cats (female) food either way it's very agressif behavior so if you have cats that do this stop it!
Why are all calico cats all girls?
it is in the genes, actually the proper term is Tortoise-shell (sometimes written as one word, tortoiseshell ) cats are all females. This is true, it is genetic, some other animals have sharp differences in color scheme - a female cardinal is grey or brownish- among the avis- birds- not car-rental agencies (we try harder!) Another answer: Male cats carry their color on one chromosome. Female cats carry their color on two chromosomes. One of the female chromosomes turns off during part of her development while the other turns on and then that one turns off while the other turns on. Having one on and then the other changes the color.
Did the AZTECHS eat dogs and cats?
The Aztecs did eat cats and dogs but they weren't the only ones many other cultures ate cats and dogs this is true by the way.
Can a calico cat have a boy cat?
Can a cheetah roar?
No, cheetahs can not roar, they are still big cats, but some scientists disagree and say the only true big cats can roar.
Why don't cheetahs roar?
Cheetahs do not roar because they do not have the capability of "true" large cats. Cheetahs purr whereas big cats such as leopards,jaguars,lions, and tigers do not have the purring capability. Only these true large cats listed above can roar.
Is it true that a female cat will mate with more than one male and have a litter of kittens with different fathers?
Yes, it's true that a female cat can mate with several male cats and have a litter of kittens of all colors and that goes for dogs as well.
Is it true only the female cheetah does all the hunting?
Male and female cheetahs do not live together so hunt separately.
If you have a male calico cat where could you sell it?
Ahead of tomorrow's meeting with Nottingham Forest, we spoke to one of their local journalists, who has been covering their team week in, week out, in order to get the inside scoop on this weekend's opponents, 17th placed Forest.
NottinghamshireLive's Sarah Clapson gives an insight into the latest from The City Ground, as we prepare to make the trip to the Midlands to do battle with Chris Hughton's men on Saturday.
Sarah, thanks for speaking to us, how would you summarise Forest’s season so far?
Unexpected! I'm not sure many people would have predicted Forest to have spent most of the season battling at the bottom end of the table. That's certainly not what they were hoping for - the aim was to challenge for a top six spot again.
It's been a tough season in that respect. They turned a poor run of form around though and had a really good few weeks prior to their last two games. Finding the back of the net is something they've struggled with, however.
How has the reality of Forest's campaign compared to your expectations at the start of the season?
After going so close to making the top six last term, the hope was that Forest would build on that and really push to go a step further this time. That was very much the ambition. They signed a lot of players in the summer. In hindsight, so many changes were probably not required, but on paper they looked to have put a really good squad together.
Last weekend, Forest fell to a narrow 1-0 defeat against Watford, how did they look in that one?
Progress has been made. It might not be as quick as some fans would like, but it was always going to take time. Hughton steadied the ship after a miserable start to the season and has made Forest tough to beat.
Making them more solid defensively was the priority, and he's definitely done that. Work still needs to be done at the other end of the pitch, but there is certainly a good base from which to build on.
Watching from afar, what's your verdict on Reading this season, particularly during our 2-0 win over Forest back in early December?
Reading have had a really good season. It won't be a surprise if they keep their place in the top six. I do think the result in the reverse fixture was harsh on Forest. It was a horrible error which cost them early on and then they were down to 10 men for so long. It was always going to be difficult after that.
Credit to Reading, though, they made the most of that opportunity - that's what you need to do if you're going to challenge at the top end of the table.
There are three former Royals in the Forest squad in Tyler Blackett, Glenn Murray and Lewis Grabban, how are they getting on?
A bit like most of the Forest squad, it's been an up and down season for them. Murray has done well since he joined in January. He made a big impact when he first came in but has perhaps been a bit quieter in the last few games. He'll be aiming to grab a few more goals before the end of the campaign.
Grabban has had a tough time, struggling with injury and finding goals hard to come by - but he's not the only one who's not hit top form. Blackett has found it hard to pin down a place in the side, but has provided a decent option from off the bench when needed.
Which Forest players should Reading fans be keeping an eye out for as your biggest assets?
Anthony Knockaert can be a real threat when he's on his game. He's certainly got bags of talent. He had a quiet first half of the season but has started to show what he's capable of since his loan deal was extended in January. When he's playing well, he's a great source of attacking threat.
James Garner has been very good since he arrived in January, too. He
