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.
Wouldn't that be three in a thousand?
Ah, you're right. It'd be 0.03333333...%
I'll edit
My wife's sister has an adult male Calico. Are you telling me that super chonker is rare?
Yes, quite rare.
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"
Generally if people offer such a bet on a rare event they know something you don't
What do you think the word "exclusively" means?
What do you think the word "barring" means? My original comment noted the sole exceptional case.
