Post your favorite pic(s) of your tabbico kitty along with a little bit about them:

My little sister rescued Terra the Cat from a parking lot in the wintertime when she was just 3 months old and gave her to me as an early Christmas gift. She was underweight and injured (she was most likely an unwanted kitten whom someone threw away) but with plenty of TLC she made a full recovery. She’s s shy girl, but an absolute lovebug.

Sorry for the face on the bottom one. She’s not hissing, rather yawning.

Digger was one of a litter of 3 feral kittens that we adopted off the street. We had never heard of the term 'tabbico' until fairly recently, but she is 8 years old as of her last gotcha day.

a tabbico is a cat that combines the coloration of a tabby with that of a calico. I have also heard of them called calibies .

Interesting! I just went down a rabbit hole of cat coat colour patterns. I guess all cats I've had in my life have had tabby coats? Except one black cat I had. I've never asked myself about what their appearance means or what it's called :lol:

Yes, as you can see, she is mostly a gray tabby, with both stripes and spots, but she also shows the orange and white of her mother and siblings.

EDIT: My bad. I see that this is for tabby/ calico situations. Mine is a tabby/tortie kind of a deal, but I love her so much, that I will leave her with you to admire, if that's ok.

I heard "torbie," [because it's tabby and tortie] but I just figured out this was a thing with Mindy St. Claire whose tortie coloring is pretty subtle, but definitely there. She was trapped after eluding capture for 10 blocks and several weeks inside Golden Gate Park about 11 weeks ago (the first 6 weeks of which she only left the closet to pee on my bed in the middle of the night). I am straight obsessed with her and keep a blog about her progress. She just allowed me to pet her for the first time this week!

And today is her first day sleeping on my bed (and we have also stopped peeing on it):
