What makes a torbie or tortie???
A torbie is a tortiseshell/tabby mix, hence some of the patching has tabby markings, i.e. stripes. A straight tortie looks (to me) like someone took the colors of a calico in paint ans splattered her with it... smaller bits of color.
This cat looks like she has a little tabby in her, so she's a DSH torbie with white. I don't know of other specific coloring names or such for her... and i have to head to work now...
