I'd go with Dilute Calico....

The stray I am picking up tonight is an unsual colour, he appears to be brown and white, and a Manx. The back end of his fur appears to have been shaved though, and currently is a few shades lighter than the rest of him!! Will get round to putting the pic of him on photobucket today, and then post.

I've always thought my Lily's colour was pretty unique - particularly the splashes of ginger through her coat (it's certainly not very common).





I think the Classic Tabby coats can get some pretty cool looking patterns as well!

I found a picture of the one I mentioned in an earlier post. It's a brown ticked tabby. Normally I've only seen this color on Abyssinians in magazines, but at the shelter I saw 2 of this color on DSH's in a 2+ year period.

Generally I just love tabby cats. Every cat's pattern is unique.
My MIL's previous cat was a Brown Classic Tabby which was pretty unusual in our area. Mackerel and Spotted Tabbies are much more common.

Lilly is a blue patched tabby - cool markings.

BTW dilute calico and bluecream/white is the same thing - some call it dilute calico, som bluecream/white.

Here is the stray I have just picked up, the vet's register doesn't have brown and white as a colouring unfortunately!! Not sure if the lighter shade is normal or not.

booktigger - that brown and white cat looks really striking!

Here's the most unusual colour I've seen so far in a cat. It's a mink snow bengal with aqua eyes. He's just gorgeous



a close up of his eyes:

She's beautiful!
My sister has a cat with similar yet different markings. My sister's cat has more black on her face and no stripes. I love the stripes on your Daphne. She's a beautiful girl.

Thanks Siggav, it will be interesting to see how he turns out when he has had some TLC for a couple of weeks. That Bengal is stunning.

there was a kitty I saw in a shelter that I wanted SOOO bad months and months ago, when I went back he was gone, he was VERY long leggy and long body and thin (not underfed, but siamese like in structure) with very short to the body fine fur, and he was chocolate brown.... I've NEVER seen another kitty like him... I'm kicking myself to this day for not taking him home....

I once saw a very beautiful male dilute calico - there I was telling him that he was a beautiful girl, and I'm informed that he is actually a boy - a quick check confirmed his male status! He was very lovely.

I haven't seen many torti-point Colorpoints on TCS like my Jasmine. I haven't seen any in our shelter eithor since i've been there, so they're definitely not something you see everyday around here. I think that makes her coat a little unique
She's the only torti-point Color point i've seen "in person" i suppose you could say. I did find several though on the Siamese Rescue site that are beautiful!
(Colorpoint's are like the "cousin's" of Siamese- just with more of a coat/point variety. I think they're gorgeous!)

Jasmine is a torti-point Colorpoint (i believe that's the correct wording)
She is an adult rescue. She's such a little love bug!!!

Were you talking about my Lily? I thought she was a dilute torbie...
