How do you say calico in Hawaiian?

There isn't a direct translation for "calico" in Hawaiian.

However, you could describe a calico cat in a few ways:

* Pōpoki ʻulaʻula a me keʻokeʻo: This literally means "red and white cat," referring to the typical calico color pattern.

* Pōpoki ʻulaʻula, keʻokeʻo, a me ka ʻeleʻele: This translates to "red, white, and black cat" and would be more accurate if the calico has black patches.

Ultimately, the best way to describe a calico in Hawaiian would depend on the specific color pattern of the cat.
