"Fostering" a sweet little baby... Tabico? Dilute Torbico? (in love either way) Bonus pic of our lovely 3 yo tortie

Which of the two (or another) do you think she is?

(Also, I say "fostering" but this baby will be leaving the house over my dead body)

She looks like she only had what ink was leftover from your stunning tortie haha what a pair of cuties

Can't wait to introduce them and take a picture of both together!! We're keeping the baby in another room atm until she recovers from a nasty cold :_) I hope they will get along! <3

I say a tabby that wasn't sure if she should go calico 😂

[u/manzanillica → u/notafan888]

hahaha I know, right?? I thought she was a tabby until I read that the orange stripes could be a tabico indicator. She's lovely either way, but I'm now curious 😂

[u/notafan888 → u/manzanillica]

Definitely tabico then

[u/ewba1te]

the orange is striped so probably a [r/tabico](r/tabico) or r/torbie

[u/craftyroulette → u/ewba1te]

I also think dilute tabico, since there aren’t really patches of clear white

Orange is always striped, it’s the gray/black you need to look at to assess stripes for tabby status.
