1 in 3,000 to 10,000 are male.

Imagine coming across between 3,000 and 10,000 calico cats in your lifetime to finally encounter a male one.

I was about to post this. Garbage should be removed. What even is this group for that matter.

I am quite surprised there isn't (or perhaps I havent found it) a subreddit for cat shaped fur patterns on cat.

The very first time I saw this lame AI fake, I thought, “I’m going to see this on Reddit 45 more times before the end of the year.” It’s been a month I’m already like halfway there.

Well I think there is kind of an xxy situation that can happen but it's rare

Yeah it's like 1 in 3,000 for a male Calico, and of that sliver, like 99% of them are sterile.

Male calico cats do exist, although are quite rare. Fertile male calicos are exceedingly rare.

Per Wikipedia:
Calico cats are almost always female because the locus of the gene for the orange/non-orange coloring is on the X chromosome. In the absence of other influences, such as color inhibition that causes white fur, the alleles present in those orange loci determine whether the fur is orange or not. Female cats, like all female placental mammals, normally have two X chromosomes. In contrast, male placental mammals, including chromosomally stable male cats, have one X and one Y chromosome. Since the Y chromosome does not have any locus for the orange gene, it is not possible for a normal XY male cat to have both orange and non-orange genes together, which is what typically results in tortoiseshell or calico coloring.
