She is a tortie/...She is almost definitely a girl. She is a tortie/calico which are almost always female. Here is an explanation.<br /><br />Tortoiseshell coats are typically red and black, and almost always found on the female because the gene that determines red hair is carried on the X chromosome. If this gene is dominant it makes the coat red; if its recessive the coat can be any other color, but will most likely be black since this masks other colors. Male cats are XY. Since they have only one X, they have only one copy of the red gene, so the coat can be red or black but not both. Female cats are XX, so they can have two copies of the red gene, and if one is dominant and one recessive they can have both red and black coloring in their coats.<br /><br />So if your kitten has both red and black, you can assume it is a female.<br /><br />She sure is cute.Peggihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10510899506984653485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4059935180600513762.post-58594969508888440302013-08-24T10:56:37.182-04:002013-08-24T10:56:37.182-04:00She(?) is an awfully attractive little kitty.
