For males, the situation is simple – if they have the ‘O’ variant they will be ginger, and if they have o they will not. For females, because they have two copies of the gene, it’s a bit more complicated – if they have two copies of ‘O’ they will be ginger, if they have two ‘o’s they will have no red pigment at all in their coat, and if they have ‘Oo’ they will have red pigment on some parts of their body but not others (so they will be calico or tortoiseshell).

The gene for ginger coloration is carried on the X chromosome. However, the less romantic reason for the "M" marking is, simply, genetics. All ginger cats exhibit the tabby pattern, and the tabby pattern itself is the work of three types of genes that can be found in all domestic cats - and even in tigers and leopards, which helped to camouflage them from their prey whilst hunting. A ginger gene in a cat is responsible for producing a red pigment, called pheomelanin - the same pigment which also creates red hair in humans. 4. There are 3x more male ginger cats than female
