Cats with splotches of different colors, such as calicos are almost exclusively female. The coloring is caused because the gene for each color is on the X chromosome. In females, there are two X chromosomes and each may have an allele for a different color, for instance orange or black. In each cell, one X chromosome "shuts down", creating patches of different colors where different chromosome have been "shut off". The only way to have a male calico is if the animal has Kleinfelter's Syndrome - meaning it has one Y chromosome and two or more X's.

All cats sweat. Not the dripping sweat we humans can do, but they do have patches of sweat glands in the face, belly, paw pads and tail area.

Because the Sphynx is hairless it is more noticeable when they do sweat because you can feel it. When my three Sphynxes lay on me on a hot day, I can feel a a slight amount of dampness from them , but much more from me!

Siamese cats are descended from temple cats in Siam, which is modern-day Thailand. Recently, breeders crossed the modern Siamese with cats from Thailand to create the Old-Style Siamese, or Thai cat. If you meant where do Siamese cats like to live, they're like most cats in that they enjoy warm, peaceful places.

Personally I don't think the breed makes that much of a difference. I think it is the raising and teaching of the cat and how stressed or happy a cat is that determines weather it's behaviour would come across as 'mean' or not, breeds give you a guideline on typical behaviours, how energetic, how big they may grow, moulting etc..

I don't have an amount of how much they shed but Himalayan cats need to be brushed daily to keep their coats looking healthy. Knowing that is the case, I would venture to guess that they shed a lot although daily brushing should help to cut down on that.
