Orange Tabby Cats Usually Male. Mama says she’s seen a lot of female orange tabbies. You won’t see a solid red, orange or cream cat without the familiar tabby markings, because the gene that makes a cat’s coat red or cream is also responsible for those stripes.
Most, but certainly not all, orange tabby cats are male. A majority of male cats have one x chromosome and the “o” allele is dominant, creating an orange tabby cat. Once neutered, these behaviors usually disappear, making the tabby a more affectionate, less aggressive animal.
Because in order for a male to be a calico, he must have.
Much like the comparison of male cats to female cats, it all depends on the factors surrounding their upbringing and breed. About 80 percent of orange cats are male and no one knows why. The gene that codes for orange fur is on the x chromosome. According to the cat fanciers association, the breed to which they belong can determine their behavior that is given to certain breeds and they share common personality traits.
