Is it true that all orange cat are male?

No, but orange females are rare. The simple answer is that an orange female cat must have BOTH an orange father and either an orange or calico mother. Where as an orange male only needs ONE parent to be orange or calico.To understand why, you'll need a small lesson in genetics: The gene that determines orangeness is carried on the X chromosome. (females have two X chromosomes, X X, and males have an X and a Y, X Y) For our purposes, we will represent an orange gene carrying chromosome as "X^C" and a non-orange chromosome simply as "X" A male orange cat must have an orange X, so his chromosome pair is "X^C Y" (as opposed to a non-orange male "X Y") In order for a female cat to be orange, she must have two X^C chromosomes. "X^C X^C" Now, offspring get their chromosomes from their mother and father. A female gets an X from mom and an X from dad. A male must get an X from mom, and a Y from dad. So the female cat, in order to be orange, must have an orange (X^C Y) father and a mother that at least carries one X^C chromosome. A female cat with one orange chromosome (X^C X) only partially shows or expresses her orange gene and is a calico cat. If you find this interesting and want to get a better understanding of how chromosomes are passed to offspring, I suggest you learn about Punnet squares and how they work. Plug different combinations of X^C into the parent slots and see what colors the offspring are. (it's good clean nerdy fun!)

Orange mom cat orange dad cat what colour kittens will she have?

All the kittens will be orange. (Orange is carried on the x chromosome, so all the females will have orange genes on both of their x's and the males will have it on the only x they have.) If they are both carrying dilute, the kittens could be cream.


Your feline cat is a tortishell and she is pregnant she has had four litters of many kittens but not once has she had a tortishell what are the chances of her having a tortishell?

So first let me tell you how gets get tortise shell color. It happens because the trait for orange cats is dominant and on the X chromosome, females are XX and males are XY, each parent gives one Chromosome to a new offspring, the female can only give X because she only has X, the male can give an X or a Y, if he gives an X, the offspring will be XX or female if he gives a Y the offspring will be XY or male. Traits are either dominate or recessive, when you get a trait from each of your parents, the dominate one is passed on. the orange gene (O) is carried on the X chromosome; for this reason it is sex-linked. Males normally only have one X chromosome and so if a male carries the orange gene at all, he will be orange. Females have two X chromosomes; if both X chromosomes carry the orange gene, then the cat will be Red. However, many females carry the orange gene on only one chromosome, which allows the black-based color to show through in patches. This combination of orange and black is called Tortoiseshell. So your female has an X with the orange gene and an X with the black gene, so to get tortishell kittens she needs to have female kittens with a black or orange male, there is no gurantee though she will always produce lots of orange kittens, but if you get lucky with the right male she may have another little tortise shell daughter Thank you for the intelligent answer. From the author of the question.

Is it possible to cross two tortoiseshell animals?

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.
