I've always had dogs and am not that well versed about cats. One thing I will say about the tortoiseshell is that they are absolutely beautiful.

Denise's cat is a ringer for my daughter's cat, that she got in Portland 13 years ago. <br />A friend of mine out in Long Beach has a similarly enchanting small house. I'm hoping to be able to visit her on my next trip to the Northwest. And I want to get down to the Portland-Vancouver area to visit friends old and new, later this summer.

The cat, (I must say as a long time cat lover,) is probably called tortoiseshell, not calico. Calicoes have clearly defined big splotches of three colors. And all three-color cats are females.
