This beautiful little girl is a foster that I've had for three days. I have her and her two brothers, they're about five weeks old. I can't quite decide what to call her coloring. She's kind of a mix of tortie/tabby/calico. Her colors are more distinct on her face, mottled on her body and she has stripes on her legs. Torbico? Is that even a thing?

I would say calico, due to the amount of white pigmentation she has. Beautiful kitten!

I agree, her back looks like a torbie but with the amount of white on her front I would say calico. Whatever her colour, she is stunning.

Not sure if calico is the best description. Calicos tend to be big patches of color with white. She looks like a typical Tortoiseshell from the top view but all that white puts her into a different category. Maybe Torbie with white?

She is very pretty! Love the white eyeliner she has.

I call mine a tabbicco. Totally made up name. The white makes her calico. The stripes are tabby. You could also call her a Calliby. Also made up name. If there was no white, she would be a torbi.

She is gorgeous 😻 I would call her a dlh calico or caliby( tabby calico). There seem to be a few names for these varitaions in calico and tortie girls. Her body looks more mottled like a tortie so you could say torbie with white too😹

Longhair torbie with white. Torbies can have some white on paws, chest, face and tummy but never on the other body parts like back and shoulders. Shes stunning!
