Calico is not actually a breed but a fur type characterized by being white in varying proportions with black and orange patches. It's named after the Calico fabric, and occurs in the following breeds of cats: the Manx cat, American Shorthair, Maine Coon, British Shorthair, Persian cat, Arabian Mau, Japanese Bobtail, Exotic Shorthair, Siberian, Turkish Van, Turkish Angora and Norwegian Forest cat.
Interestingly, due to how genetic determination works in the above breeds, the vast majority of Calico cats are female with only very rare exceptions. (Also, most don't have an affiliation to Calico Jack, with very rare exceptions.)
