The term Calico describes a certain coat pattern, and not a specific breed of cat. This pattern can be found on both short haired and long haired cats. Many breeds of cat produce the calico coat colour - with some being exclusively short or long haired. The Calico pattern is particularly common in mixed breed cats (moggies) due to the varied gene pools, and is found on both hair lengths.

Calico cats belong to the class Mammalia because they possess the defining characteristics of mammals, which include having fur or hair, being warm-blooded, and nursing their young with milk produced by mammary glands. Additionally, calico cats are a color pattern variation of domestic cats, which are members of the species Felis catus, classified within the order Carnivora.
