I know there are a few threads like this, asking about calicos, but I've never seen a thread with a cat that looks similar to mine (yeah I'm being that annoying parent who insists their child is completely unique).
Anyway...is my cat calico, or tortoiseshell and white? Is there really a difference?
The wikipedia definition of calico is:
"...a spotted or parti-colored coat that is predominantly white, with patches of two other colors (often, the two other colors are orange tabby and black)."
But her coat isn't predominantly white. Her stomach is white but the rest of her is orange and black. Parts are patchy and parts are mixed. So I'm not quite clear which category she falls into and I'm just curious how others would describe her.
Here you can see her white belly (and the adorable little orange stain on her chin that makes it look like she's made a mess eating her dinner haha)
