Is it true that only Siamese cats can bear calico kittens and please explain why or why not?
no that is not true calico kittens can be born to just about any breed of cat. I myself have two calicoes, their mother was a black/orange tortie and the father a orange longhair tabby. also in the litter was a two black and white males and an orange tabby male.
How long do calico cats live?
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.
How can you tell if your Calico Cat is male?

What makes a cat calico?
Not necessarily. A calico cat is only female, due to genetics, while all tabby cats are males. A calico is typically white with orange and black patches in its pelt. Well that is not quite true. Most tabby cats are male and most calicos and tortoiseshells are females, but not all of them. They are very rare, but they do exist. Also, calicos of any gender must be orange, white, and black, or ginger, cream, and gray, in distinct patches.

No, but I heard, but I think it is unlikely, but some breed of cats pee glow in the dark. That sounds weird, but for some breeds it is totally true. Try it, maybe your cat is from that breed?

If you have a male calico cat where could you sell it?
There is no such thing as a male calico cat unless it has a birth mark some where that makes its skin one different color somewhere on a two toned cat then it would be a two toned cat with a birth mark that makes it look calico. All three colored cats are females. No ands ors or buts about it. Dear Prof Rowan, You are incorrect, while male calico's are rare they do occur. The color gene for calico's occur on the X gene, XXY males exist and can be calico. I have seen male calico's, not bicolored male cats with a "birthmark" but tricolored multi patched true calico's. yeah so where you sell um you didnt help at all

Usually less than one thousand dollars . Most sell for $200 to $600 Dolllars It must be beedable to be worth anything . Neuters are worthless .

Can calico cats be boys?
Yes they can, but male calicos are very rare. Calico is not a breed, its a coat pattern that needs two x chromosomes, in order to make a male you need an x and a y but sometimes ( every one and 3,000 ) you will find a male calico with two x chromosomes. If you are lucky enough to have a male calico they are worth thousands and thousands of dollars. they are nicknamed "million dollare cat" "money kittey" and "pay check cat"
