No. The term "calico" refers to a certain coat colour, sometimes called "tortoiseshell-and-white" or "tricolor". It is not a breed. Calico is often large areas of white with two other colours, usually orange and black. The Calico colouring can be found in many different breeds of cat. If a cat is just black and white, it is not a calico.
No, Burmese cats do not hold the genes for a black and white coat. This breed does, however, come in a variety of colours:
In addition, there are four tortoiseshell colours. Only female cats can carry the tortie gene:
maybe if you dye it but I would rather dye its fur purple =3
Technically, no. I guess you could call them really really dark gray, but technically, Bombays are known for their pitch black fur color.
The Bombay Cat is a Dark Black cat that alot of people own across the country. A good name for it would be spooky.

ALL Pedigree Bombay cats have short hair... They resemble miniature black panthers... Length of fur is 1" - 1.25"...

because the fur is usually black and white with the white on the belly as if the black is the tuxedo jacket and the white the under shirt To be clear: Only those with that specific pattern (mostly black, white on the belly, neck, and possibly paws and muzzle) are "tuxedo cats." Cats where the black and white portions are distributed more randomly are not tuxedo cats.
a torti is a color of fur for a cat. usually a mix of orange, grey, brown, black, and white or some of these colors. cats with this color of fur are usually shorthaired A torti is a tortoise cat, it is just the pigment of the cats fur. Mostly female cats are Torti's.
Most zebras have black and white fur, although I have never heard of a zebra that doesn't have black and white fur.
A black-and-white cat. They can also be called tuxedos if they have the right patterns: white on their chest, tummy, and paws and there can be some on their head, face and neck then the rest of them is black.
No but some cats look blue
For the same reason that some of its fur is black and some is white. A cat's fur color is usually the same as the color of the underlying skin, so if a cat's paw has white fur, its toe pads on that paw will often be unpigmented and will show pink, while another paw, with black fur, will have black toe pads from the same pigmentation.
Yes, they are a tortie and white cat.
white fur because white is cooler
No they are not.
There are two pigments available in cats' fur: black (or extremely dark brown) and an orangey yellow colour, and all colours and patterns are made up of these two colours. (White in cats is a result of the absence of these pigments.) The black pigment appears in the wild cat as the stripes that help it to be camouflaged. Mutations have occured in the wild that allow cats' fur to be one colour without any tabby markings; as a result we can have black cats.
