* Sometimes a cartoon cat would be made orange to make it obvious that it is a male character– like bows on girl characters. The "usually male" part is partially justified as orange cats are significantly more likely to be male than female. [[note]]Specifically, the gene for red/orange fur is located on the X chromosome. A normal male cat will only have one X chromosome and one red gene = red/orange fur. A female has to inherit genes for red fur on both X chromosomes in order to become a red/orange cat -- one red gene and one non-red gene will result in a tortoiseshell or calico coat.[[/note]]
