0% will be calico and male
-this is because males can never be calico

100% will be calico female
-this is because one of the X's they recieve will come from mom and be black and the other one will come from dad and be orange so they will be a mixture of black and orange aka calico

male cats will all be black
-this is because the only X's the males will get is from the mom and the only X's she has to give are black
