Also, I think almost all Calicos and Tortoiseshells are female; those that are male have an extra x-chromosome or something. Tabby cats are stripey, and you can tell a tabby by the M stripe on the head. I am pretty sure that Calico refers to cats with big orange and black discrete markings on a white base. Squishy's markings are too stripey and blended to be Calico, and she doesn't have enough white.

Now I am really confused. If Tabby and Calico just refer to coloration then how can it be related to sex. So do I have three Tabbies then? Or are there other color options?
