Ca(OH)2 is a strong base and so what little dissolves (it's not very soluble) ionizes completely. Acetic acid is a weak acid and does not ionize.
Molecular equation
Ca(OH)2(aq) + 2CH3COOH(aq) --> (CH3COO)2Ca(aq) + 2HOH(l)
Ionic equation
Ca2+ + 2OH- + 2CH3COOH(aq) --> Ca2+ + 2CH3COO- + 2HOH(l)
Net ionic equation
2OH- + 2CH3COOH(aq) --> 2CH3COO- + 2HOH(l) ......... Ca2+ is the spectator ion
