Can you guys help me figure this one out?

Ok, on my new ones adoption papers this is what it says:
1 year old spayed female. Calico Tiger.

Now, I know what a calico looks like. And I know what a Tiger kitty looks like. But I am suddenly confused. Is a tiger just another name for a tabby?? And has anyone ever heard of a mix like this??

She is very multicolored. She doens't really have a "pattern" of colors either like tiger would I think. But she also does not just have the calico markings. She is like a MUTT!!!

Anyway, I was just wondering if maybe this is a misprint and she is just a calico....although she doesn't look exactly like that either. I'll have to post a pic so you can give me your opinion on this. I'll take one today....promise.

In the meantime....is a tabby and a tiger the same?? and can there be a calico tiger mix???:tounge2:

My Missy is a calico tabby She has stripes on her face and chest but on her back she has calico patches. Can't wait to see a pic of your baby

Melissa, that is exactly what she looks like! Her face has some stripes, but her back and legs/paws are calico patches.
Oh thank god, she isn't a mutt after all!!!!!!!!!!:tounge2:
At least I know there is at least one other feline that looks like this!!!

She is hiding again, so I am not having luck snapping a photo. I'll get her though, don't you worry Cat!!!

Great, I'm ready for a kitty sammich! :laughing2 :laughing2

Love ya... (I'm soooo excited for you and your family!)

Cat

Heres a few pics of my Missy..you can see the patches on her back in the xmas one..

Heres another.. does your kitty look anything like her Daniela?

Missy is the Tabby on the left. She's 3/4 tabby, but has a calico section on her lower back, you can see it a little better in the top picture. The white kitty with black spots is my little Gyspy - shes an attention hog, so shes usually in almost every pic I take of my cats

Melissa, well she is similar but I think mine has more calico and less tabby. The only "tabby striping" she has is on her face. The rest of her is mostly calico.
Your kitties are gorgeous!! I love those photos.

I just finally managed to snap a good shot tonight so I will download it and get it on here this evening....so look out!!

One word for the coloring would be torbie or if I could see a good picture, she would be a "whatever color" parti. A torbie is a mixture of a tortise shell (multi patches of color without white) and a tabby (tiger) pattern.

Sorry for the bad quality of the picture. She had blotches of black/grey stripes and red/orange stripes, with white chest, stomach, and paws. I've been trying to figure out what to call her--Thanks.

I was so weighted down by all the turkey and Christmas cookies I ate that I couldn't reach the computer . I got one of the things I wanted for Christmas--Tessie the Terror didn't unplug my computer and printer again whuile I was at the in-law's. She has the mischief of 2 cats, a tabby and a calico combined. I never know what I'll find when I go into her room.

Cat....how's the dumpster crawling going?
