I just want to ask if this is a bi color red and white or a bi color tabby pattern?

Does the cat has the revealing M on the forehead?  If so, its clearly a tabby.   Tabby stripes may be otherwise difficult to see on a longhaired cat.

Hi, I can see vertical stripes on the forehead  but no M. It is not a tabby then?

Before I confess I really dont know, I notice now I do see stripes along the back of the neck.

So, I guess its a tabby after all, even if the M isnt clearly visible.    As said, on the longhaireds the stripes are often difficult to see.

Thus, red tabby and white, longhaired...    I hope that will be right.

Technically it can surely be said  red tabby and white bicolor, but I dont think its the usual to say so.

Hi, do you happen to have a picture of him/her when he/she was younger (as in like a week or less old - max 2 weeks)? Or one a little more clear from a little more distance (including tail)? And maybe some parents information just in case? (This for the tabby, as he's red, it'll always show a "tabby pattern" but it's not always a true tabby cat)

From what I can see now, and considering his/her probable age, I would guess (Read GUESS - as it's not really clear from the pictures): Red Tabby Classic and White. (S)He's not white enough for a Bi-color as far as I can see, so it's just "with white" for now.
