Can cats make you sterile?
There are calico cats, but they are rare and usually infertile. Calico coloring on a cat is caused by a "orange" gene on one X chromosome and a "black/white" gene on another X chromosome - hence, two X chromosomes are needed for a calico cat, which makes it female. Rarely, cats can receive two X chromosomes and a Y (XXY), giving it calico coloring but a male gender.

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"

Calico cats can be many different breeds, specifically the ones that come in a variety of colors, such as Manx, American Shorthair, British Shorthair, Persian, Japanese Bobtail, Exotic Shorthair and Turkish Van, etc. Only females can be calico because their sex chromosome is XX, allowing three colors, whereas male chromosome is XY, only allowing two or less.
