Where could one get a Male calico cat?

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

Does a cat's coloring indicate gender?

Sort of. A Calico cat is almost always (99.9% of the time) going to be female. The reason is that the female has two X genes, one has to carry red and the other black to get the 3 color effect. For a male to be a calico, it has to have XXY and is normally sterile.

Are dilute calico cats rare?

No, calico cats are pretty common. It is very rare to see a male calico cat, especially one that is full-grown, because almost all male calicos have genetic defects that kill them as kittens. Because of this, adult male calicos are incredibly valuable and have sold for thousands of dollars or more.

When a cat that has spots of more than one color it has what?

A cat of many colors is call a Calico cat. The Calico colour is usually found in females, and very rare in males.

What is the reason calico cats are almost always female?

Actually, they're not. Male Calicos are very rare - only about 1 in 300 Calico kittens are male - but they do exist. Unfortunately, a sex-linked genetic disorder kills most male Calicos when they're just kittens, so adult male Calicos are extremely rare and are considered valuable.

Is it true that all calico cats are females?

To put it simply, calico cats are caused by the random conversion during embyronic development of X chromosomes into Barr bodies. When you have a female cat, you have two X chromosomes (XX). When the female cat embryo is a morula (earliest recognizable embryo), each cell in the embryo randomly inactivates one X chromosome and passes this inactivation onto daughter cells in the same line. This is what allows for the spotted appearance of calico cats, as we are assuming momma kitty and papa kitty had different coat colors transferred to the embryo through the X chromosome. This random inactivation is also why females are typically not color blind. Color blindness is caused by an inability to perceive certain colors due to a deficient protein that has its DNA inside the X chromosome. Females have two X chromosomes, and one of them is randomly selected to be used in the development of each focal area of the eye. If the female had a color blind father, this means each eye would be roughly half color blind, and since half is enough to perceive color well, unaffected. A female could indeed be color blind if she received "bad genes" from her mother as well, but it's a much rarer circumstance. You do not see the calico patterns with a normal male (XY) cat because the X chromosome does not become inactivated in male animals. However, cats are susceptible to the same genetic disease we are. In one particular disease, two cells fail to separate their X chromosomes during Meiosis (an event called Nondisjunction). This cat hence receives two X chromosomes from mom, and say in the case of a male, a Y from dad. This cat's resultant genotype is XXY and the cat has Klinfelter's Syndrome. The cat appears male (i.e. has a male phenotype) but he really has two X chromosomes. This tends to be why male calico cats are much rarer and are also sterile To make things simple its very rare to have a male calico cat. And yes male calico cats are sterile. A regular female cat has XX chromosomes and a regular male cat as XY chromosomes. A male calico cat would have XXY chromosomes which in human form this would be called Klinefelter's syndrome. Which makes the male calico cat sterile.

What is one of the famous cat that people own today?

Calico

How much do male calico cats cost?

since Calico is just a color not a breed, it depends what kind of cat it is . most are just average domestic housecats and arent worth much Answer They are priceless, interesting pets with an attitude. Often cranky, they are always female cats. Some cultures call them "money cats," because they bring good fortune.

Are calico males rare?

Males and females have different chromosomes, and the calico pattern is pretty much locked to the female chromosomes. Coat color in cats is a sex-linked trait. The genetic coding for displaying black or orange color is found on the X chromosome. The coding for white is a completely separate gene. Since males have only one X chromosome, they can only be orange OR black. Males cats with two X chromosomes and one Y chromosome can turn out to be calico, but they are usually sterile.

How tell to a boy cat from a girl cat?

first of all how to tell a boy cat from a girl cat is for a boy try looking at there but and you see two circles its hard to explain so ill dend ya the link from how to tell them apart the first link will explain better http://www.peteducation.com/images/articles/kitten_gender.gif http://www.thepetcenter.com/exa/kitx1.jpg http://www.peteducation.com/article.cfm?c=1+1388&aid=923 hope this helps!

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"

How do you get a FooPets male calico?

You can't, truth is male calico's (in real life) are REALLY super rare. So, there is no way to get one; because Foo pets is a realistic game. Sorry!
