calico cat

“A little calico cat slithered from around a white tombstone, scraping its furry side along the marble, and blinked moonlight-silvered eyes at Renata.”

Simon & Schuster: Etched in Bone

“Bullfrogs had croaked, squirrels scolding the old calico cat that had wandered the grounds.”

Shiver

“Mum would have a calico cat if she knew her globe-wandering daughter had crossed paths with a heathen like Jesse Morgan.”

The Lightkeeper

“Still, this was a tiger, not a calico cat with a love of sunbeams and people smooshing their face in his fur singing about bouncy mice and shnuggles.”
