late 70s or 80s YA with children and a male tortoiseshell/calico cat
I'm so excited to find this community!
So: all I can remember about this series (I'm pretty sure there were at least two books) is that it featured a group of 3 siblings, one of whom was named Malcolm; and that the family owned a tortoiseshell or calico cat, whom I think was named Heather. In one book, there was a running joke that Heather was going to have kittens, according to the youngest sibling -- but never did -- and eventually, someone came along and realized that the reason Heather never had kittens was that Heather was a rare male calico (or tortoiseshell).
This was a minor subplot -- the books were sort of adventure/caper-ish in their main plots. Did anyone else stumble across them? Thanks in advance!
