Not really sure what breed my cat but I really want to know!

[skywaywhisper]

Chelsea isn't pedigreed as she's a stray I picked up about 8-9 years ago! She's really gentle and loving but not attention seeking!! She doesn't bite nor scratch! She always comes and greets me whenever I get home even if she's roaming somewhere around the garden or anywhere else outside. She's slightly shy but she's not fierce to anyone she doesn't know!
Not sure what her breed is because I'm not exactly extremely well versed in differentiating cat breeds :-(
Hoping to know what breed she is considered! Attached below are a few photos of her :-)

She looks like a very pretty calico to me - not a "breed" but rather just describing her coat markings.

Thank you so much! I went to Google on calico coat patterns and looked at a few days in which the pattern is common and I think she is a Japanese bobtail! Didn't realise her tail ciuodbt really be seen in the photos but she has a bobbed tail rather than a long straight one :-)

he's very friendly and gentle. His mom is a very fluffy grey/ calico and his dad is a big blue

She's beautiful!  Looks very much like an American Bobtail Calico to me.

Thank you so much for your help!:-) although I do think she's a Japanese bobtail instead! What are the more significant differences between the two?
