IF SHE IS THEN THE KITTENS MIGHT HAVE an abnormal affect such as an exrta toe, mentaly retarded ect.

haha thats funny, I do not know what will happen but I would call your vet to find out, and if you do not want another litter, than just give the kittens to the pound, or the humane society, simple as that!

There are not any tortie boys. All torties and calicos are female.

Comment #4 Mewmew (72.92.139.231) -

Angel - Your info is wrong, there are too Tortoise Shell Males. About every 1 in 3, 000 developing Tortoise are male, and then a huge percentage of them don't live very long, the ones that do are usually sterile. But there also are non sterile ones, which are even more rare. You shouldn't really make a comment like that without knowing what you're talking about, no offense, but you're here on the Internet, you can easily do research to see that Calico males although very rare, do indeed exist.

The funny thing about that picture, if that other cat is his sister, usually orange tigers are only male! So you got two rare cats if that is him and his sister, funny.

Like I mentioned to the person who commented tho, Calico males are almost always sterile (if not, he's even more super rare and valuable), so honestly I wouldn't worry about the Sister getting pregnant, but anyway unlike humans it really isn't much of a problem if relative cats breed.


Comment #5 Mewmew (72.92.139.231) -

PS-

Again, although female gingers (orange tiger) aren't as rare as Male Tortoise Shells (calico), they also are rare. It would genuinely be funny if that was a picture of the two. Two rare births in one litter.

Anyway, it's been estimated that anywhere from 1 in 10, 000 to 1 in 30, 000 male Tortoise Shells are fertile and can have children. There is almost no chance of him being able to have kittens.

If she did get pregnant, I don't know if I'd neuter him or not, a male calico is already a super rare cat, one that can have kittens is crazy rare of the rare.

I don't like to elevate cats, the best cats in life are free, but he is really valuable :D

no such thing as male tortoiseshell cat

Comment #7 Talia (74.12.195.206) -

I would never breed a tortie boy. The reason you can get a tortie boy is if he is a XXY. Because two X chromosomes are required for the effect you see ( its called X chromosome inactivation, that occurs in females of ALL species - such as dry and oily sections of human skin - thats why females are referred to as mosaics) ANYWAYS. If somehow this male is not sterile (which is very likely) it has a chance of passing on an XY gamete to cause further genetic mutations.

I have a male tortie!! Just found out one of our kittens is a boy with black and red fur. 6 weeks old, he shakes a little in his back legs so probably some genetic abnormalities. I was going to give him away but now I'm probably going to sell him to make sure he goes to a good home. Email me for offers.

For those ignorant people that keep saying there is no such thing as a male calico cat, think again. I have one. I had him fixed when he was 6 months old. Do some research idiots.

To those who keep saying that male calico/tortoiseshell cats exist (and are even name-calling) - not quite. "Male" calicos/torties are hermaphrodites. They're neither male nor female.

Comment #11 Shawn (75.71.73.214) - Sat Oct 10 21:49:13 2009

"Male" calicos/torties are hermaphrodites - If this is the case, then I should be attracted to all "Male" Torties.
