Looks like a calico to me. She also has tabby stripes in the colored patches, which I think some people call torbie (tabby/tortie combined) but with that much white on her, I would call her a calico. She's a very pretty girl, whatever else she may be.

Awww.. Steve is adorable!  I will let others weigh in on if he is a Torbie as I am new at this stuff, but i think she looks like a calico.

That's a calico - they are easy to tell because unlike a tortie the calico have white

Do you have a picture further away from her back/side? I'm not sure if she's tabby. Aside from that all the above mentioned colorings are correct. Black Tortie with White, possibly tabby.

I am no expert, but looks like a patched tabby to me (basically a tabby calico).

She looks very much like Tippi when she was a kitten

Don't want to ruin the fun, but Tippi doesnt seem silver to me. She seems to me to be a Black Tortie Tabby Mackerel with White. I think she can also be called a Calico or Torbie with white. Still beautiful tho!!

This is an example of a patched tabby I found on line. The cat in question sure has the same type of makings.

Long haired and short haired silvers cant really be compared tho. Tippi's tabby pattern is significantly dark, where silver means a white undercoat. This white undercoat should also be present underneath the stripes, and to me they are too dark to have silver underneath. This can also be because of the photo, so the owner can look by following the stripe/tabby-hairs and see if there's any white underneath. Silver is like a hair with 50 color and 50 white (the white should be completely white, not like an off-white or ligher color) The patchs in between also don't strike as obvious silver, but more like a colder tabby pattern.

This is what I would personally advice tho. I have 2 silver cats, seen many silver kittens (breeder), but these too are long haired. I did see silver shorthairs on many catshows, and this just doesn't strike as a silver. To me, that is.

Stevie looks like a beautiful calico cat!

 

[stewball]

She's just plain beautiful.

Thank you everyone for the comments and peaches says thank you for all the compliments and she says she would blush if she wasn't a cat I thought I may post some more pictures of her because she seems a bit torbie tippi is beautiful and so is stevie. I'm considering it to be a new cat colouring off a calico patchwork tabby here are some more views of her.
