well, despite the info given the cat in the photo is NOT a calico and
white. It is a tabby and white. It may be a tortoisehell tabby and
white, tho it is not possible to tell from the photo.(Calico is a
pacthed cat and they are female. they are patched with red. cream black
and white. A tortoiseshell is patched red, cream and black tho in
practice these colours are often intermingled. So a tortie tabby(or
Torby) is patched with those colours but the black is in the form of the
usual tabby stripes or spots or whorls depending on wheter the tabby is
mackeral, spotted, or classic   . It is a sex linked characteristic,
with these colurs being female. The very rare male in this colour is
sterile. You would get this colour by breeding a red to a black or a
red/white to a black/white. The only way to have a red or red and white
female kitten is when both parents are red or the father is red and
mopthet tortie or calico.
just thought you'd like to know that!
