Answer #1

ANSWER :

A male cat with tortoise shell coat (XB Xb) cannot be possible since tortoise shell coat colour is the result of co-dominance when both the X chromosome with dominat orange (XB) and recessive black fur gene (Xb) will present in cat, which can be possible for female cats.

However, if tortoise shell coat pattern inherits via X-linked recessive gene then some chances would be occur to exhibit the male cat with tortoise shell fur pattern.
