What a handsome lad
Lass...calicos are only female.
Calicos can be male, they're just infertile cause they got extra genes.
Calicos can be XXY, which may present male genitals but is intersexed and both male and female. The genes for color are coded on the X chromosome. That's why only females are calico.
