Fun fact @CrazyCochin, 99.6 percent of tortoiseshell cats are female.

Really!?
Wow! I read that Torbies are nicknamed that because they have tabby marks along with the tortoiseshell.

She is technically a torbie or a calliby despite her strong resemblance to a calico. See, "Torbie" is short for "tortoiseshell-tabby", which would be a cat in tortoiseshell colors with tabby patterns mixed in and thats exactly what she is. However, a "calliby" is a calico cat with tabby patterns mixed in which she also looks to be.

So in short, one could either call her a torbie and white in the van pattern, or a calliby.

I was reading about those other names in an article about the differences between four different colors today.
Thanks though.

When I was little, very little, I had a real long-coated calico, her name was pumpkin, she was indoor/outdoor I think, but she wandered off one day and never came back, most cats go out that way.
