Ok maybe im the only dumb one on here but why is it so rare to have a male torti? I thought cats came in any colour....also why are males torti's usually sterile?

I am not sure of the scientifics of it but 95.5% of torties are females.

The Messybeast article previously posted explains it very well, but it is to do with the multi-colours in torties, and the fact that one of them is sex linked, so to have a male tortie normally means an extra chromosome, which is what causes them to be sterile.
