I drew a birthday card for one of my IRL friends of their cat, Lucky 😊 she’s a calico/tabby mix with a crinkly ear and always greets me at the door when I visit

What's the proper term for a tabby calico? I own one and I've always called her a torbie, but I've heard "tabbico" and just plain "tabby calico" before. Secondarily, are tabby calicos any more rare than other colorations of just plain domestic short/longhairs? I personally feel like I don't see them as frequently, but I could be wrong. Thanks!

Most registries refer to it as “Tortoiseshell Tabby with White,” or whichever their applicable white spotting descriptor is (ex. Tortoiseshell Tabby Bicolor) if relevant to the breed.

CFA continues to be weird and refers to tortoiseshell tabbies as “patched,” and then “and white.”

For the most part (although not exclusively, since there’s so many registeries out there with their own language choices) terms like “calico” “torbie” “caliby” “torbico” etc are just colloquial terms.

In theory tortoiseshell tabby calico’s should be equally or more common because the agouti (tabby) gene is dominant and is like… the original flavor cat, not a mutation. The wildcats they descended from still sport a tabby coat.

But I haven’t paid much attention… so I’ll definitely be making a mental note if which I see more often, now!

hi! wanted to ask is there an official term for calico tabby? like torbie is tortie tabby? because thus far I've heard several different ones (caliby, torbico, tabbico etc).

Uh. I think neither of these are "official", as far as i'm concerned, including calico and torbie. The breed standards (also me in the tournament) are calling these patterns "tortoiseshell with white" (or tortoiseshell bicolor/harlequin/van), "tortoiseshell tabby", "tortoiseshell tabby with white". I think one organisation calls tortie tabbies "patched tabbies", which i personally strongly dislike.

I know these terms are a lot longer, but at least they are clear and straightforward, and nobody is confused by them (i hope). Of course, you can still use the "unofficial" expressions in your submissions and propaganda.

Unmute to hear the meows of an old cat, leaves crunching, and my southern accent!

Since everyone is thoroughly enjoying my posts about the new kitten I thought I'd take a moment to show some appreciation for my little old lady - Minni! I took this video last fall and never got around to posting it till now.

She's 12 years old now and everyone thinks she's mean because she won't interact with "strangers," including my best friend whose tried to make friends with her for years. But as you can see she's very sweet!

i really do not understand how when someone says that there have been over 300 shootings in 2018, claiming that most of them are suicides/gang violence/didn't take place in a school or venue. suicide by gun and shooting someone to death with a gun in a gang war is just as bad as a mass shooting in a bar somewhere. i feel like we need to put more thorough guidelines on guns, but maybe we need to do more than that, like mental health awareness and law reform and the like, yknow?

Most of all we need proper enforcement of the laws we already fucking HAVE since pretty much every mass shooting in recent memory came about from someone who already legally wasn’t allowed to have guns got them anyway or because some idiot forgot to put them on the “do not sell guns to this person” list.
