No. coat color in cats is a sex linked trait only on the x chromosome. females get two copies of this X chromosome while males only get one (and one Y chromosome). In the two that the female receives, one can carry genes for the orange color and the other can carry the gene for the black color and they are therefore, both expressed but males only get one X chromosome so they can only express EITHER black or orange. You cant have a male tortoiseshell animal so you cant cross two tortoiseshell animals (since you cant cross two females....). The only time the male would be tortoiseshell is if he had Klinefelters syndrome where he has an extra X chromosome (XXY) but he cant be crossed due to a high chance of infertility.

Why do we not normally see male tortoiseshell cats?

Well, because to have a tortoiseshell to begin with there has to be two X chromosomes, therefore usually only females are born. Every once in 3000 times there will be a male tortoiseshell, and they are usually sterile, and prone to shorter lifespans. Very, very rarely there will be a non-sterile male tortoiseshell, but only exceptionally rarely.

How is cross breeding different from selective breeding?

Cross breeding is simply taking two breeds of animals and mating them together (Such as a Charolais crossed with a Hereford). Where selective breeding is selecting the what two animals you want bred together to produce a better animal.
