What colour is Lily?

Another vote that your gorgeous girl is a dilute torbie.

many people use the terms 'torbie' & 'patched tabby' interchangeably. this particular website does so. others feel that a patched tabby has solid orangey patches, whereas a torbie has stripes throughout. i haven't been able to verify that on the web yet. messy beast has some interesting pix, too...

I wish she wasn't such a fraidy cat. I'd love to show her as a "housecat" or whatever that category is. She's so long, lean and athletic, and has such pretty colours, and gorgeous eyes.

I would call her a dilute tortie/tabby - I am not a fan of torties, but adore dilutes when they look like your babe, rather than true patches of colour - my friend called one at the shelter grey and pink!! Have never seen a tortie tabby with such strong tabby markings though.

Awww thanks, I'll tell her how pretty you think she is

I would call her that too but for the most part I call her a beautiful cat. I always think she looks a bit like a cougar in the face not because of color but because for the way her facial structure is she is just enchanting
