My vet told me that most yellow tabbies are males.

My Tigger is a huge yellow tabby male.

Yeah, that is a very funny coincidence, but there are female orange tabbies as well as males.

Not  true  who  ever  told  you  that  is  a  lier.

Answer 10

Not true, a woman I work with has a female orange tabby and so does my boss. It might be more likely for them to be male, but it is possible for them to be female.

Answer 11

nope, I've definitely seen some girl orange tabbies. They are much more likely to be male, but I don't know why this is. It isn't exactly like the way calicos are usually girls, because that is due to a gene that controls color that can only be passed by X chromosome. Pretty much the only male calicos will have a genetic defect where they are XXY(extra X) instead of XY(normal male). So orange females are nowhere near as rare as male calicos.
