When a cat has a Y, it is male. Otherwise, it's female.
When all Xs have an O attached, the cat appears red.
When not all Xs have an O attached, the cat is a tortie.
When no Xs have an O attached, the cat is non-red.
So then:
XX = non-red female
XOXO - red female
XOX = tortie female
XY = non-red male
XOY = red male
In future I may explain in more detail the mechanisms underlying this pattern.
