Talk:Mochi/@comment-25140297-20150308110554

This might be overly nitpicky, and I know officially Mochi is a he, but logically, and in real life, as a Calico cat, Mochi should be a female cat.

As referenced here Calico 'Because genetic determination of some coat colors in cats is linked to the X chromosome, calicoes are nearly always female. Because of the genetics involved, calico males are rare, and generally have impaired vitality and are almost always sterile.'

Thus, Mochi might be the rare male, but if he was, he'd be sterile and sickly. Of course, the movie might be choosing to just ignore this facit of nature, it's hardly the most fantastical thing about it.
