She seems lighter than a normal tabby?
Just interested.

Personally I’d say a tabby/calico mix

Got the m of a tabby with the orangey patches of calico

Mum was a blue British short hair. Unsure on dad

No idea but very cute.

xxxJess123xxx · 12/01/2022 14:36

She is the most lovable, clingy baby ever. Literally the definition of a lap cat. She's 5 months xx

And she has great ear hair

Light tabby? She's very cute and I'm a dog person!

zafferana · 12/01/2022 14:38

She's gorgeous and a very unusual colour.

Tabbies often have orange/sandy bits. I'd say she's a lilac tabby.

Yabu to not label your post as a Bragging Thread!!

Lots of tabbies have orange patches - my first girl was a brown tabby but her brothers were all orange tabbies and as she got older, she definitely got more orange!

She's gorgeous though!

Cutie.
Paler coat colour is sometimes called dilute? Don't really know much about it though.

Yarnivore · 12/01/2022 15:46

She's a dilute tabbie.

lljkk · 12/01/2022 15:52

Lilac tabby is a good name.

flourella · 12/01/2022 15:54

She's a patched tabby, which is like a tortoiseshell but with tabby markings within the patches of colour. Difficult to say what her colour is though, because on my screen she looks dilute in the first pic, not dilute in the second, and could be either in the third.

xxxJess123xxx · 12/01/2022 18:33

Flourella, I think it's because they were all in different lights. One in sunlight, one dull, one is my frontroom with artifical light xx

In the second picture, she looks like my cat, a patched tabby

Thank you for sharing your babies! They are beautiful 😍 I’m not familiar with the proper terms so would describe as ginger/tabby

No help I know, but just wanted to show much appreciation for the cuteness

Bettybantz · 12/01/2022 20:02

I’d say blue tabby. My BSH blue tabby boy has the same creamy shades to him. There he is at the front, compared to his fully blue brother.

Thank you all xxx

She’s a dilute torbie or patched tabby (different terms, same mix) - tortoiseshell and tabby mixture. The dilute gene is what gives her the soft grey and fawn colour rather than black and ginger.

Shehasadiamondinthesky · 26/01/2022 14:50

She is tabby. I too have a tabby but she is all white with one tabby foot.
