Are all yellow cats male?

[Catlady]

I have four yellow cats and they're all male. My daughter had four and they were also male. A couple of friends's yellow cats were also male.

On the other hand, only females can have three colors and my beautiful Calico is female.

No, PVC, actually I had a yellow(orange tabby) cat, who was a female. She passed away last year, at almost 14.
I've been told though that female gender is a rarity in yellow/orange cats.

Interesting!

Both my calico's are(were) females. Would love to hear more
on this subject.

There are 80 yellow males for every 100..

80 males for every 20 females, Ken.
So, most yellow cats are male.

All calicos are female-with the very,very,very rare exception-and that male will be sterile. Orange cats are way more frequently male than female but my daughter`s cat Wednesday is very much female-or at least she was,until she had her big girl operation.

They're not all male PVC, I had a male and a female yellow tabby when I was young.

How about white cats with blue eyes having a propensity to deafness? I had one in childhood who was. I have heard that they have about a 50-70% chance of having severe hearing impairment.

I didn't know that, I just googled the below =

"Researchers found that only 17 to 22 percent of white cats with non-blue eyes are born deaf. The percentage rises to 40 percent if the cat has one blue eye, while upwards of 65 to 85 percent of all-white cats with both eyes blue are deaf. Some of these cats are deaf in only one ear."

Also, Dalmatians have a propensity to be deaf. I've heard that's why Dalmatians are associated with fire engines =

Dalmation Club of America = "Deafness is NOT uncommon in Dalmatians. It has been estimated that from 10% to 12% of the breed is deaf. Recent discoveries in the genetics of deafness have made it possible to reduce the incidence of deafness"
