So I was reading through this area and figured I would give it a whorl. So I'm assuming mine are some type of Calico (Dora for sure) not sure about Olivia. So what do you all think.
Yes, Dora is a calico, and Olivia would be a patched torbie. Torbie comes from tabby (striped) and tortie, which is the colors of calico but without distinct blocks like Dora has.
I think Catwoman707 has it right here with Dora being a 3 colour cat known as Calico, and Olivia as Torbie where the tabby markings are clearly seen in the colour blocks other than the white. Very pretty girls.
I have three torbie/tortoiseshell girls of my own but I can never remember exactly what they are.I love the personality of three coloured cats though. Are your girls showing any signs of "Tortitude"yet?
