    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 hundred times (0.03333…% of the time) if the cat was randomly selected, whereas other coat colors it’d be 50-50.

      Wouldn’t that be three in a thousand?

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

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