Calico kitten what should you breed her with to most likely get another calico out of her litter?
If I understand the question correctly, you have a calico female that you want to produce another calico? The best suited tom would be black and white, preferably with lots of white. The result is around half of the female offspring will be calico, half black and white, with a slight chance of one having brown in its coat. Alternatively you can use a ginger and white tom, with half of the females being ginger and white, although there is a greater chance of the other half being tortoiseshell-tabbies or brown, ginger and white.

How long do calico cats live?
From what I understand calico cats are all female. There are no male calico cats.thats not completely true ..male calico cats are born very rarely about 1-3000 calico cat births..they are always sterile so they are not worth any money..Actually, a few male calico/tortoiseshell cats arefertile. They are more likely the result of mosaicism rather than an XXY chromosomal anomaly, which causes infertility. Whatever the cause, though, they still aren't particularly valuable, because neither a chromosomal anomaly or a developmental anomaly like mosaicism is a genetic trait that can be passed on to their offspring.
Why is my cat a pink orange white and gray calico copy of her mother her brother a gray barn cat like his father and the two other brothers plain gray tabbies?
Unlike humans a litter could look nothing like their parents, or brother and sisters, but somewhere back then their great great and however more grand parents looked like them.In this specific case, it is because male calico cats are extremely rare. So your cats brothers would not have the calico markings of their mother.

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"

Can you identify the sex of the cat through its color?
If the cat has orange and black/gray, it is most likely to be female. That is because the combination of the orange with black/gray is sex linked to females. It is the same story with calico cats--they are always female.
Can female calico cats have babies?
no they dont die at birth. They may have shorter lives than regular cats. The reason of male calicos appearing is because there was something wrong in the sex cell of the parent. Most likely an extra chromosome or a mutated one
