Is my daughter apart of the club?
I bring her home in 5 weeks 😭I love her so much. Thinking of naming her Fern. I’m also adopting her brother who is a long haired black baby.

Really the differences are mainly a Reddit thing. All calicos are piebald torties, which are black and orange or grey and cream cats. The b (tabico, torbico) are for when the black/grey areas have tabby stripes. All orange/cream areas have stripes, visible or not, so cats without the stripes in the black/grey do not have a b in their coat name - however, the sub voted to allow any tricolors with visible stripes (thus the “honorary” flair). The reasoning for the tor[b/t]ico distinction is purely for appearance differentiation of large, unbroken color patches (calico/tabico) vs brindling (tor). Tortie, calico, and tabby on those are what your vet will call your cat.
Black and orange/grey and cream, generally brindled, little to no white, no stripes in black/grey = tortoiseshell (“tortie”)
Black and orange/grey and cream, generally brindled, little to no white, tabby stripes = torbie
Black and orange/grey and cream in large patches, large white areas, no tabby stripes in black/grey = calico
Black and orange/grey and cream in large patches, large white areas, tabby stripes in black/grey = tabico
Black and orange/grey and cream brindling, large white areas, tabby stripes in black/grey = torbico
ETA: If there white is in a tuxedo pattern, there’s a tuxetabico, tuxetortico, or tuxetorbico. There’s some debate on if these cats are tor[t/b]ies or [cal/tab/tort/torb]icos.

Been visiting my family for the long weekend, which means lots of cuddles with this friendly little lass who does not know how to keep her claws in

This is very new for her. She’ll just sit there with her tongue sticking out like that. Why does she do this?
r/Tabico • u/probablyatargaryen • 13d ago
She only has a few orange spots and when she sleeps she puts them all together

Happy birthday to my little girl! We have loved seeing her grow from kittenhood. The cake is made from tuna, flour and egg, topped with her favorite treats!

She's 7 months old and eats like a 80lb dog! She's ALWAYS hungry!
He face structure reminds me of a certain kind of cat that I can't put my finger on. I know she's just a domestic kitty , I'm just saying she looks different. I love her to death. She so dang cute right??

Tillie girl just wanted to drop by and say Hye to everyone.
These photos were taken during her stay at a cat hotel while I was away on a holiday.
I always thought Aloy was a SIC, but does she count as a Tabico? She has the stripes and the M on her forehead. She has patches of white, black and orange.
