“Not only is he a male calico but he is a Scottish Fold on top of that. He really is 1 in a million!” they wrote via Facebook. 

One out of every 3,000 calicos iz male. Just like humans, cats haz two sex chromosomes that determine gender. Female cats haz only X chromosomes while male cats haz both X and Y chromosomes. A calico or tortoiseshell must haz two X chromosomes which means the kitty iz going to be female 99.99% of time.

The calico pattern exists in male cats is because the cat has an extra X-chromosome: two X, one Y (male). 

So this little guy iz extra rare! What a cutie!
