From spotty reading over the years, I've been calling Spooky a Torti-tabby, or "Torbie." I know those aren't any kind of technical term - but is either one even the "correct" layman's terms (if there is such a thing) to describe her?
This is what she looks like from the top:
And from the side in a color-washed out photo in the sunlight (sorry!)
I'm wondering about the "tortoiseshell" part - because don't tortoiseshell cats have no white on them?
She's a brown tabby, with... red and white coloring? :dk:
And IS there a word for a brown tabby that looks grey? Obviously I call them grey tabbies - but I'm pretty sure there is no "grey" in cats?
To me, Spooky looks brown, grey, and orange with white spots and tabby markings. :lol3:
Thanks!
