However, there are some color patterns more common in male cats due to genetics:
* Tortoiseshell and Calico: These patterns are almost exclusively found in female cats. This is because they are caused by a gene on the X chromosome, and females have two X chromosomes, while males have one X and one Y.
* Black and White: While not exclusive to males, black and white cats are slightly more common in males.
Overall, the color of a cat is determined by its genes, not its sex. You'll find male cats in all sorts of colors and patterns, just like female cats!
