Yes they are. Males only need one x chromosome to express yellow color. Females need two x chromosomes with yellow coloring. An orange x chromosome coupled with any other color x chromosome usually creates a calico; which is why calico's are all female (2 x chromosomes). I have one and she's the sweetest cat ever :) hope that helped :)

Why are Male Tortoise Shell Cats and Ginger Female Cats so Rare and Expensive?
Male torties are rare because genetically, it's nearly impossible to be presented with a male this color. Since it is so incredibly rare, they are valuable. Anything rare/uncommon has added value. Male torties most likely are XXY instead of XY. This is due to the colour in cats being in the female (X) Chromosome. Male Torties are usually sterile, but even if it wasn't it would only pass on 1 (of its X's) X or Y Chromosome.
