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:

  • Brown - A rich warm brown.
  • Blue - Blue-grey coat with a silver sheen.
  • Chocolate - A lighter brown, often the colour of Milk Chocolate.
  • Cream - A very light variant of the Red coat.
  • Lilac - Pale grey with subtle pink tones.
  • Red - Red-orange, with much more vibrant shades specific parts of the body (head, cheeks, ear, etc).

In addition, there are four tortoiseshell colours. Only female cats can carry the tortie gene:

  • Brown Tortoiseshell - Brown with shades of red.
  • Chocolate Tortoiseshell - Chocolate with shades of red.
  • Lilac Tortoiseshell - Lilac with shades of cream.
  • Blue Tortoiseshell - Blue with shades of cream.

Technically, no. I guess you could call them really really dark gray, but technically, Bombays are known for their pitch black fur color.

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.

Why is one of a cats paws black and the others all pink?

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.

How come cats have black?

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.
