Cats with splotches of different colors, such as calicos are almost exclusively female. The coloring is caused because the gene for each color is on the X chromosome. In females, there are two X chromosomes and each may have an allele for a different color, for instance orange or black. In each cell, one X chromosome "shuts down", creating patches of different colors where different chromosome have been "shut off". The only way to have a male calico is if the animal has Kleinfelter's Syndrome - meaning it has one Y chromosome and two or more X's.
