Not sure what baby is

Hi and welcome to TCS! I think Callie is a classic tabby - see that 'bullseye' on her side? Tortoiseshells don't have such distinct stripes/segregation in colors, their colors are more 'blurred'/blended into each other; and calicos' colors are more patched with a lot more white fur.
She has a very striking pattern as well as pretty coloring. She is a cutie!

Agree, but I suspect she is a tortie too. There is a reddish splotch in the bullseye on the right side. So yourvprettiw will be calked for a torbie.
Observe the whitish around her mouth prob isnt a true white spot, but its typical for tabbies.

Our little buddy, Elliot, is a brown and black tabby but he also has white under his chin and cream colored fur on his belly.
I don't think it was meant to say that, if a cat has ANY three colors of fur it is calico. Different shades of brown could count is one color. If the fur on a cat's belly can be a different shade and still count as one color. Even a brown tabby has white under his chin so just an accent doesn't really count a a color, per se.
I think the cat in the pictures is a super cool looking classic tabby!

A difficulty here is, black / brown tabbies do often have warm brown nuances, which looks reddish.
There is also a fenomen called for rufism - which does looks reddish. Without being a true red.
So while I think this red sploch on the right bullseye is THE revealing, but not even I am sure.
Question: how is her foot pads? Are all black or is some of them reddish??

Hi, her foot pads are all black except for one that is pink
in the end that not matter what she is, cause she is special to us, all together we have 9 babies mostly rescues.
ah, pink? Is there a white sock on this leg?? If yes, the diagnose is unsure, but if no, we may presume she IS a tortie, ie here, a beautiful torbie.Hi, her foot pads are all black except for one that is pink

Whatever she is, I love her colors! I have a Caliby named Puddles. It was a challenge finding out what she was, too!
OK, so its settled 100%. She is a tortie, ie here, a torbie.
The white around the mouth (and eyss) is one of they typical tabby characteristics. Its no true white spot gene.

I also think she is a Torby dsh because of the pink paw and the red patch in the middle of her bull’s-eye, with a classic tabby pattern. She is gorgeous. She looks like such a sweet girl.
