I GOT A CAT FROM THE SHELTER. SHE IS, ACCORDING TO THE VET, A CALICO. HOWEVER I SAW IN THE CAT FANCY A PIC OF A PERFECT SHORTHAIRED TORTOSSHELL, AND THE MARKINGS WERE EXACTLY LIKE DAISYS. ONE SIDE IS GRAY-BLK AND THE OTHER TAN. ONE LEG IS TAN AND THE OTHER BLK. ALL WHITE UNDER AND PARTS OF HER BODY. SHE IS A BEAUTIFUL, LOVING CAT,WITH FUR LIKE MINK. IT IS SO SOFT. SHE ACTS LIKE A STUCKUP PRINCESS , HENCE THE NAME. I WOULD NOT TAKE NOTHING FOR HER. SHE IS MY COMPANION. SHE LOVES TO EAT. .

She sounds like a very pretty cat  The difference between calico, tortie, tortie/white, or patched tabby (just for your info)
Calico - basically a white cat with patches of red and black. If the colors are cream and blue its the dilute version of a calico (called dilute calico or a bluecream calico)
Tortoiseshell - a black and red cat that the colors are mingled together (dilute version is a blue-cream)
Tortie/white - a tortoiseshell cat with some white - usually on the face, chest, legs and belly
Patched Tabby - this is tricky. Sometimes you have a tortie that may have some stripes in the red color - its NOT a patched tabby or tortie-tabby. A true Patched tabby is a brown, blue, or silver tabby WITH some patches of red or cream mixed in. If the darker color (brown/black/blue/silver) does not have stripes, then its not a patched tabby.
