When we adopted Abby from the shelter, they told us she was a dilute gray tortoise shell tabby. We had no idea what that meant. Here is a picture of her. Does that sound about right?
yeah, Gareth - they are calicos - very pretty ones, too! Java's a calico, too, but my 1st cat, Medley, was a tortie. i think Isabelle & Abby are torbies - they have stripes & patches!
