This is a lovely story.
I hadn't heard the term 'calico cat'before, because we call them tortoiseshell here in the UK.

Thank you for reading my story, I am glad ya'll enjoyed it.
It is my understanding that the main difference between a calico and a tortoiseshell cat is that the calico also has fairly large patches of white fur, not that that is important. Calico cats can also be listed as a type of tortoiseshell.
There is a fun poem about the Gingham Dog and the Calico Cat http://www.poets.org/poetsorg/poem/duel - both were popular patterns of cloths that could be woven by complex looms in the 19th century. In the picture books they are usually shown as stuffed toys sitting side by side on the table.
