Not always but most of the time they are that is because Red in cats is a sex-linked color, carried on the X gene. Therefore, a male cat whose X carries red will be a red tabby. A female cat who carries one red and one non-red X will be a patched tabby, a tortoiseshell, or a calico (if she also has the dominant gene for white markings). A female cat who is homozygous for red (has it on both X genes) will be a red tabby. This is why you see more male red tabbies than females. The chance of having a female red tabby are about 25%

∙ 13y agofemale, because in the cells in some parts of the body, 1 X chromosome is switched off and in other parts of the body the other X chromosome might be switched off. So the female cat would have a mixture of colored spots.

Does a cat's coloring indicate gender?
Sort of. A Calico cat is almost always (99.9% of the time) going to be female. The reason is that the female has two X genes, one has to carry red and the other black to get the 3 color effect. For a male to be a calico, it has to have XXY and is normally sterile.
How many kittens can a calico cat have?
Cats can be so many different colors that it is hard to list. There are gray cats, black cats, white cats, brown cats, golden cats, cream-colored cats, rose-colored cats, and even blue cats! Then there are the cats that have mixtures, like the stripped tabby, the patched calico, or the torbie, a mixture of both. Different breeds of cats can have even stranger patterns. For example, the Siamese and Himalayan breeds tend to be a cream color with darker patches on their face, ears, paws, and tail.
Can cats see colors and what colors can they see?
Cats can indeed see some colors, but not all colors. Research has found that cats have colour-sensitive cones in their eyes, but not as many as a human's. Humans with normal vision have 3 types of cones, while dogs and cats have only 2 types of cones so they do not experience the same spectrum of colour vision that we do. Cats seem to be able to distinguish between higher frequency colors, meaning cats respond to the colors purple, blue, green and possibly yellow range. Red, orange and brown colors appear to fall outside cats color range and are most likely seen as shades of grey or purple. Purple, blue and green appear to be the strongest colors perceived by cats. Tests suggest cats can distinguish between more shades or levels of gray than can humans.
