Thanks StefanZ!!
Well thats a long color name for sure :) No, there really aren't white patches....her throat and belly are lighter but not white.
Blue lynx torbie, COOL!
I have always called this girl a Calico but after reading this thread,( and others) I no longer think that is right. Previously I thought the large white patches made her calico but now since her colors are swirled together I wonder if she is Tortiseshell and white with tabby?

Thank you for the welcome! I call her Pepper, because she is sooo salty, lol She really is a bundle of energy and personality plus.
My only concern with her is she insists on trying to play with my older cat who is sooo laidback and calm. The kitten will literally jump on her back or jump...
I have never had a cat be afraid of me and my kitten certainly isn't. If she forgets I use a sssst noise and she remembers. Probably forgot to mention I use the ssst along with the flick. A flick doesn't hurt her, not nearly like her scratches hurt me. She follows me around and asks to be...
