Xandy
Xandy, as in "X and Y", isn't a famous cat in history or myth. He is a fictional cat invented by me. The genes that determine the color of a cat's coat are located on the X chromosome, and so almost all Calico cats are female. However, about one in every 3,000 Calicos manages to get a Y chromosome (in addition to the necessary two Xs), and is therefore born male. Xandy is a male Calico, and as such, he is almost as rare as four leaf clovers or words that start with the letter X.
