In house cats, calico only occurs in females. In reptiles, calico can occur in either sex. There are something like half a dozen reptile species with calico morphs, and as far as I know, only a single mutant gene in each species is needed to produce a calico morph. In cats, calico is a combination effect from three mutant genes.
