How to describe cat's coloring

[ameliashuman]

This is my new boy Marco (little over three months old). He's so sweet and so cute but I have no idea how to describe his coloring beyond saying he has white, gray, and black fur. Is there a describing name? l also just want to show off my handsome boy

Marco is super cute! His tabby pattern is ticked tabby, which means he doesn't have stripes or spots on his body, just on his face, tail and legs (which we can see on his shoulder). Ticked tabby is not very common, which might be why you had trouble figuring out how to describe him, but we do see it sometimes. So I would describe Marco as a very handsome brown ticked tabby and white domestic shorthair.
