    just to be contrarian I had a male calico, and I also had a female orange (full) cat. But I get your meaning and I think I was saying the same thing. The skin is doing its thing long before the other X is decided which would then set a lot of the bones and features that I think get set after one has shut down (sorry if it came off like I didnt mean this).

      Your male calico is likely intersex XXY. very rare.

      Sorry, I had indeed misinterpreted your previous comment. Thanks for clarifying.

        It was only a small eraser sized grey dot in a other wise orange tabby white mix. His name was Ru after Ru-paul and he was fabulous.
