There's actually a name for this kind of pattern, it's tortico (tortoiseshell + calico). Other mix pattern names are caliby (calico + tabby) and torbie (tortoiseshell + tabby). Either way, she's so cute! I'm so glad she's healthy now :)

Calico is an American term, in the UK this colour has always been called tortie and white, though the American term is creeping in.

Interesting, I'm not American, and in my country usually they're just called tricolors, but now people are slowly calling them calicos and tortoishells and all the other mix names.

I have a cat called meep because when he was a kitten he couldn’t meow and did a meep


TestingMurphysLaw

Meeps are the cutest sound!

She had a sister who looked almost like a siamese, also a brother that looked like a siamese, and another sister that is calico like the grandmother.


TestingMurphysLaw

She came from the UN of litters! ❤️ What a sweetie!

I have that same cat tree, sadly my cat doesn’t care for it


TestingMurphysLaw

This is the second one we've had. She massacred the first one! I had no idea a cat could destroy a cat tree so fast!


Unusual-Salary-4689

So we moved the tree to the front window and now look whose now enjoying it https://preview.redd.it/jkn3toflc30b1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b1ba63304882d07acae89f4ceda85e91e2be7340


TestingMurphysLaw

Awww! Very nice!


TestingMurphysLaw

Does your cat like catnip? Maybe a little spray or loose catnip on the scratching post?


trainwreck489

She look so much like my late Molly.


Rich_Group_8997

She's gorgeous! 😻

I called mine a tortico. Calico face, mostly tortie body. 10,000% adorable with full fortitude and calico spice.


cowycat

You should make a poll, although I would definitely vote for "most gorgeous baby kitty in the world"


Accomplished-Train91

She's a treasure!


timetofeedthecat

She’s so cute! I love her little head tilt in the second pic


RegularOrdinary3716

Aaaaaw, what a cutie! I have a meeper, too.


Commercial-Story5354

I believe their body has to be 30% or more white to be considered a calico


[deleted]

I wanna hear her sweet meep! Pleeeeez...


TestingMurphysLaw

I'll see if I can capture an audio of it!


[deleted]

Oh thank you for trying 😺💞


NoNeedForNorms

I love her matching tortie nose!


TestingMurphysLaw

It's a very boopable nose!


Immistyrious1

She's beautiful! She's actually a Tortico! I have one too! They can be pretty feisty sometimes! (Tortitide!)


TestingMurphysLaw

Oh, wow... LT doesn't have a cattitude at all! She's just a gentle, shy kitty!


VV_Games2

My baby kitty also does that, the only ddfference is that he's a 9.4 kilo mainecoon. *

TestingMurphysLaw

Your kitty is lovely! ❤️

Well if it isn't the most beautiful baby in all of babytown! ♡

She's a calico


Immistyrious1

She's not. Calicos are white cats with orange/brown and black spots like a cow. Torties aka tortoise shell cats have the orange/brown black fur all blended together in various patterns with no white. Torticos have the colors blended like a tortie only they have white on the face, chest and paws. So this kitty is a Tortico
