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.
About an average of 15 years, just like all other cats. Please note that Calico is just a term to describe the cat's coat colour. It is not its own breed. Calico cats are mostly Domestic Shorthairs - moggy cats that have mixed genes and bloodline.
It depends on the cat itself like if it has any illnesses, but from what I know, calico cats do tend to live longer then most cats. For example, my aunt's calico cat lived to 23 years, and my calico cat lived to 20 years. That is much longer then most cat breeds.

Please note that Calico is just a term to describe the cat's coat colour. It is not its own breed. Calico cats are mostly Domestic Shorthairs - moggy cats that have mixed genes and bloodline.
Due to these mixed genes, Domestic Shorthairs have been said to be able to live a little longer than pedigree breeds, but there is no evidence for that. How long a cat lives depends on the individual: How healthy the cat is, how well it is looked after. etc. A cat's coat colour or pattern does not depict how long a cat will live.
Yes. In fact, all cats can live that long if they are kept healthy.
Calico cats come from many generations of different breeds of cat, as Calico is a certain colour, not a type of cat.
No, there is no such thing as a miniature calico cat. Calico cats are not actually a breed, calico describes their color.
Calico cats can have the same amount of kittens as any other cat. Calico is a certain coat pattern, not a separate breed.
Calico cats are cats who have more than 3 colors......Often girl cats.They are almost always female, if your lucky enough to have a male, they are usually sterile.
Calico cats are almost always female. This occurs because the gene that determines color is located in the X chromosome and two X chromosome produce females.
they live like any other cats live.

Calicos can live inside or outside. It depends if they were born inside or outside.
No, not all calico cats have six toes
Generally in people's homes. Calico is a fur pattern, and a calico cat is simply a domestic shorthair cat with that fur pattern.
Yes, calico cats start out their lives as calico kittens.
Agreed that calico cats are beautiful animals and ... "beautiful" is an ADJECTIVE.
The term Calico describes a certain coat pattern, and not a specific breed of cat. This pattern can be found on both short haired and long haired cats. Many breeds of cat produce the calico coat colour - with some being exclusively short or long haired. The Calico pattern is particularly common in mixed breed cats (moggies) due to the varied gene pools, and is found on both hair lengths.
No, they are not always inbreed they are like every other living cat. --- Calico cats are simply the result of a ginger or tortoiseshell cat and a black or tortoiseshell cat. The only similarities is that both cats must have some white.
Calicos are wonderful smart cats, they are 95% female, as long as they do not go outdoors without supevision, they can live for 10 -18 years.
i know that calico are born in the summer
