Any special term for this type of face marking?

I'm just curious and reading about what certain patterns are called. My lil tortie kitten has that super cute stripe right down her face down to her nose [emoji]128525[/emoji] she's also got an adorable ringed tail! Though I don't know if ringed tail is the proper description either?

I don't THINK there is a special term for the blaze, but you are right.  She's a cutie (I have a huge tortie bias, I have to admit),  And, since the tortie pattern is related to the tabby pattern, ringed tails are not uncommon.  My Hekitty has a ringed tail.  I call her my "RIngtail Monkey Cat."

Its seldom we in the cat world describe the facial markings that exact. but in the world of horses, its very common.  Compare perhaps there.

The word blaze mentioned above, I think its one of them.   So perhaps simply  Blaze....

Thank you! The bigger she gets the crazier her fur becomes! ( and more adorable [emoji]128525[/emoji])

She's a beautiful Tortoishell, with a really well marked blaze.

Our's has the same. It's a common marking for Torties and some have larger ones than others.
