Actually, they're not. Male Calicos are very rare - only about 1 in 300 Calico kittens are male - but they do exist. Unfortunately, a sex-linked genetic disorder kills most male Calicos when they're just kittens, so adult male Calicos are extremely rare and are considered valuable.
One of the definitions for the word "calico" refers to a cloth or other object that has patches of different colors, hence "calico cat."
Calico is not a type of cat just a color so it is not their species what makes them aggressive or mean it is their personality and most Calico's are girls so that might explain alot
inactivation of the X chromosome
Sort of. A Calico cat is almost always (99.9% of the time) going to be female. The reason is that the female has two X genes, one has to carry red and the other black to get the 3 color effect. For a male to be a calico, it has to have XXY and is normally sterile.
Every cat is different.You may just be allerget to Calico cats.
no they dont die at birth. They may have shorter lives than regular cats. The reason of male calicos appearing is because there was something wrong in the sex cell of the parent. Most likely an extra chromosome or a mutated one
Why not, it seems fitting. Though don't be surprised if another names their cat for the same reason.
well probly, if he always comes up to you and talks to you and looks at you then he does like you
Male tortie and calico cats are extremely rare. Here's a little feline genetics lesson: The reason is that black and orange hair can only occur together in the hair coat if that cat has two X chromosomes. Calico cats (white cats with patches of black and orange) and tortoiseshell cats (black and orange swirled together), therefore, have to have two X chromosomes, and two X's means that you're a girl.In order to be a boy, you need a Y chromosome. Boys are XY; girls are XX. Very rarely, a mutation occurs that leads to a calico or tortie male. Genetically, these cats are XXY. The two X's allows for the color; the Y allows for the maleness.The incidence is reported to be 1 in 3,000.In other words, out of every 3,000 cats with black and orange together in the hair coat, on average, 2,999 will be girls, and only one will be a boy. The XXY mutation leads to sterility. They can't reproduce. Your orange tabby girl is not sterile. Get her spayed.Fun Fact:Orange female cats are a little uncommon; only about 1 in 5 orange tabbies are female.
Most Calico cats are Female. The reason is because of their genes. Female cats are born with a chromosome that allows the calico coloring,Males rarely have it. If they do it is a genetic Defect. in fact only 1 in every 3,000 calico cats is male.

Twin female calves should be able to reproduce in the future, given they are otherwise healthy, normal calves. The main problem is if you get twins of different genders sharing the same blood supply during gestation. These are termed freemartins and the female has been exposed to male hormones throughout gestation. Besides looking a little 'manly', or having some physical similarities to a bull, they are almost always infertile and farmers will not attempt to mate them for this reason.
There is no reason why not.
You didnt put it on overnight so it is almost impossible to lose it overnight. The reason I say "almost" is because there are always cosmetic procedures. The best way to lose the weight is through an exercise and nutrition plan and hard work.
Indicators always turn on for a reason, even if the reason is that the indicator is broken.
