What is Hazel’s color pattern called?

[bney]

I’ve been calling her a calico but I’m not sure that’s exact. She’s also a bit fluffy too. I’m also curious if anyone has any clues what the father(s?) of her litter might have looked like if that’s possible? She was a pregnant stray so I have no idea and am just curious! The kittens are 1 white, 1 orange, 1 light orange/tan, and 2 black and white. Thank you

I would call her tortoiseshell and white, but if you say calico I think most people wouldn't argue. Usually a calico has larger color spots and more white though.

The white kitten is almost certainly pointed (like a Siamese). Probably a red point because dark points would be starting to show a little by now.

Do you know which kittens are girls? That will help identify what color the daddy might have been.

To me she looks more tortie with white but strictly speaking I was told if they have any white they are called calico. My Syb in profile pic was a calico with a lot of white in her face and paws and belly etc.

I'd say tortie with white. She's very pretty.

Omg you’re right about the white kitten! I haven’t really started handling them much until this week, Hazel’s been a great mama so I’ve been pretty hands off, but they’re now about 2.5 weeks and yep the white one has some orange-ness coming in on their ears and some faint rings around the tail! That’s so cool you were able to know that!

I’m unsure which are girls, I’ve spent forever comparing pictures online and it’s just so difficult to tell with my untrained eye.
