Yes and no. Some tri-colored cats aren't calico but all calicos are tri-colored cats. To be considered a calico cat, a cat must be tri-colored, with areas of white, orange, and black hair.

Why are most calicos female?

A calico cat is white with tortoiseshell-type patches of colour, typically black and red, although other colours can be present, also.
Do calico cats get along?
Calico cats are mostly female because of genetics. The term calico refers to a cat that is three colors, now it is possible for male cats to be calico, but it is a rare condition. The X chromosomes display the colors orange and black, and the white is in a totally separate gene. Because female cats have two x chromosomes (xx) they are able to display two colors along with white. now, it is more complicated than that, but that's that basics of it.. although male cats have an x and a y chromosome (xy) the event that male cats have two x chromosomes and a y chromosome (xxy) is very rare, and they are normally sterile. which means they cant breed. there is a similar condition in humans called Klinefelter's syndrome, or XXY Syndrome.
