Oh my!   There are much goodies here.   Some doubting Thomas may call him for an broken mackerel tabby, but I myself truly think he is a spotted tabby. Not show quality so to speak, but counts undoubtely as spotted tabby.  He has his white too.  And some reds... He is thus a tortoise shell tabby with white, called for torbie.  He is bluish, so he is diluted.

It gives: Diluted Lynx torbie with white.   I think.

Males arent so often torties, and these are usually sterile...

Did I said he is very sweet?

Your luck I had just eaten my midday, otherwise I would ate him up, no need for salt nor sauce, as sweet as he is!

Ps.  ah, its a she, ok, it makes it a little easier to explain.   Female torties are entirely normal and fertile.   :)

Stefan, the only think I would disagree with you here, is the description of 'dilute'. The cat would have no black spots if truly a dilute. The spots would be grey and the background a lighter grey (or blue).

Otherwise a very pretty torbie with white.

I'll leave the mackerel vs spotted debate to more practiced eyes.
