    Extremely rare doesn’t mean impossible

    They’re mostly female but not all female

      I didn’t say it was impossible.

      That said, if somebody gave me the option to bet on a calico cat being female, I would always take that bet because I’d only be wrong about one in three thousand times (0.03333…% of the time) if the cat was randomly selected, whereas other coat colors it’d be 50-50.

          Ah, you’re right. It’d be 0.03333333…%

          I’ll edit

        But you did say exclusively which implies that it would be only female. Which is just inaccurate.

          The word “barring” in the context of my comment means “with the exception of”

          What do you think the word “barring” means? My original comment noted the sole exceptional case.
