Not to take anything away from the info you've provided since it is all interesting. But it seems francisco's gender is pretty debated. There are a few that talk about them being a female with certainty, but without any reasoning I also take their info with a grain of salt.

Francisco is the example I picked since he's likely the most well known of tortoiseshell (supposedly) male cats.

I suspect that some of the claims that he's female is based on a lack of knowledge of Klinefelter's syndrome.
