Because females don't have any Y chromosomes. Females are XX; males are XY (one of each).

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.
