Color Question

[calikitteh]

Our girl was splotchy like a calico but now the splotches have melded together....what say you color experts on how to best describe her coloring? Dilute calico/caliby or dilute tortie/torbie & white? Something else?

She's so pretty! I would describe her as a blue patched tabby and white. But there are lots of ways to describe her color... others might say dilute torbie and white, or dilute caliby... these descriptions all mean the same thing.

Thank you! She's a sweet pea.

Thank you! She's a sweet pea.

She is also a point, not immediately apparent.
But the blue eyes are a rather sure giveaway. Her darkening up with time another.
So throw in this into the description above.

Cats with white spotting can have odd eyes or blue eyes. They don't have to be pointed to have blue eyes... Of course, it's possible she is pointed, too

She is pointed, she was mostly white as a kitten and the splotches on her body are lighter than those on her face / legs / tail.

I was wondering how to describe her pattern though b/c people ask about it the splotching has changed and spread as her color has come in and calico point didn't seem accurate anymore (but probably good enough!)

So cute! Ok, if she is pointed then I would describe her as.... hmm... blue patched tabby point and white.
