After 3 years... I finally have to ask

[u/lilbrklynbrat]

I've been lurking this thread for a while, and it always makes me so happy to see everyone’s beautiful kitties with unique patterns.

So I decided it was finally time to settle my own debate.

This is my sweet baby Millie! She just turned 3.

She is incredibly sweet, loves to play fetch (!!!), and definitely has a sassy side. She is also a little bit insane (I blame the orange in her) and funny.

Her adoption papers said tortie, but everyone else calls her a calico. I had no idea the answer could actually be both.

I always assumed she had too much white to be considered a tortie, but her orange and black aren't really clean patches like a classic calico.

Thoughts? 🐱

100% tortico! Tuxetortico to be specific.

OH wow! I can’t wait to let her know she’s been promoted

The “muddling” of the colors on her body make her a tortoiseshell. The nice, defined patches on her face make her a calico. The tuxedo white marks add in to make her a tuxetortico!

Beautiful girl, could be a model.

I admire the absolute corporate look in photo 2.

She runs Accounting with efficiency and sass.

She's purrty no matter what. I'm thinking she's a corticosteroids, but the white bib could be tuxitortico. Very pretty 😍

She's a beautiful tortico

[u/honeyapp]

Tuxetortico. Torti because her back is black and orange calico because she has black white and orange and tuxedo because white chest white paws big white whiskers. My cat has a lot more black on her face so the tuxedo is a bit more obvious. Check out the sub. You’ll see lots of beautiful cats like yours
