A Klinefelter cat, also known as a Klinefelter syndrome cat, is a feline with a genetic condition typically characterized by an extra X chromosome, resulting in a XXY chromosome pattern. This condition can lead to various traits such as reduced fertility, larger size, and distinct physical features like longer limbs and a less masculine appearance. The term is derived from Klinefelter syndrome in humans, where similar chromosomal abnormalities occur. While Klinefelter cats may have some health issues, many live healthy lives with proper care.

Klinefelter's syndrome and XXY males are conditions that are caused by?

Normal humans have 46 chromosomes (23 from each parent). Males with Klinefelter's Syndrome have 47 chromosomes and therefore have acquired an extra chromosome from a parent (hopefully a more knowledgeable contributor will say if it is from the male or female parent). A lot of studies have been done on the male calico cat. Back in the 1980's if one found a male calico cat that was NOT sterile, the cat was worth about 30K... a lot of money for that time period. I am not sure if similar hunts are currently underway.


Is a male tabby cat with white and orange spots still considered calico if so is he rare and could he possibly have Klinefelter's syndrome?

No, it does not have Klinefelter's syndrome. it is just a mix-breed cat, otherwise known as a mutt for cats. It is a tabby/calico mix-breed. It is not rare and it is not a disease. it is just an unusual color pattern found on a tabby/calico mix. So don't be worried your cat is perfectly fine. I hope this helped.
