Sex and the Kitty
Earlier someone asked about the kitty that ended up at the Lindstroms. Well the kitty now has the name Pepper and is doing fine. But I have another puzzle based on the pictures we posted. When I brought the kitty to the vet for its first checkup, the receptionist asked whether it was male or female. I said we weren't sure but my brother thought it might be female. The receptionist took one look at the cat from 10 feet away and instantly said, "Oh, that's definitely a female." Here's the puzzle. How could one tell this cat is a female with only a casual look? (Dean can't participate cuz I told him the answer)

Sure is a cute kitty!
As the proud owner of two calico cats I happen to know that 99.97% of calicos are female. A male calico, though not impossible, is an anomaly. For more info see:

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!!!!!!!
What do I win? Is it in the mail?
On second thought, I am not prepared to say "Calico" is correct.
First: when the receptionist explained her rationale she did not use the word "calico"!
Second: even the web site you referred us to seems to say this cat is a calico in one place but in another that it is not.
I need to check a few more places but it seems there is more than one definition of "calico". I try to be objective but for now I'm going with the definition that makes your answer wrong. Nice try, but no prize. . .yet.
Okay... tourtoise shell... same difference.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!!!!!!!
