Is "Wendy" a Torbie?

[Velvet]

At last we have a name we both agree on so Honey is now "Wendy".

On looking closer at Wendy tonight i was amazed to see tabby ginger markings both sides along with black patches & some smaller brown patches, so question is does that make her a Tortie with white or a Torbie or something else?

I'd venture to say she's a torbie and white like my Kuan Yin.
As she gets older you may notice the solid areas will turn into striped as she fills out and grows up. But I think the ginger stripes probably settle it. Lovely girl :D

Ah thank you, can you post some more photos of Kuan Yin please?

I've just gone back to look at Wendy Honey's picture ...... IMO her colouring is more like Mags' Cassie.

Why am I thinking calico and white?

[Tink]

Calico is what I initially thought when I saw the photo too. But if she can see ginger tabby stripes close up then I believe she'd be torbie and white because calicos have no striping..(?)

Yes, in Velvet's thread "Kitten with Attitude" I could certainly see ginger stripes, so torbie and white she is!

I got on too late to weigh in on this, so just add that I agree: she's torbie and white ..... and a little darling. It was good to see Kuan Yin as a kitten again! :D

How strange :? Cassie is registered as a tortoiseshell by the vet and she has stripes on her ginger patches but the other colours are solid. :?

You can see Cassie's stripes in this pic.....

Mags, is it possible your vet's computer only has limited color options? Leia is officially a "Grey DSH" at mine; when I tried to get it changed to blue torbie or dilute brindled tortoiseshell was told no such categories available! Ah, technology!!

Actually, I never noticed Cassie's stripes in her ginger before......

It is confusing as the same vet registered my daughter's cat as a torbie and there is a big difference there .......

Im no expert - anything but (lol) but if Wendy, Kuan Yin & Cassie are Torbies with the ginger stripes then your daughters wee poppet is a tortie & a beautiful one like that.

Thank you:)

I can see it now - similar markings esp lower back & the darker tail. Kuan Yin is lovely!

[dandysmom]

Mags, your daughter's cat is definitely a dark brindled tortie IMO! She looks very similar to my late Patches. Sorry, don't know why that wouldn't show as a pic, did when I previewed the post ....???
