This is Boba, my 3 year old girl who was found as a stray as a kitten.

I've never really considered what to consider her breed, but have always recognized her unique coloring + eye color. would you consider her a torbie?

  • Oh another colourpoint torbie I think! We’ve had a few of them lately :) I believe she is a seal tabby-tortie point with white. I also think she might be silver but I’ve been bamboozled by that recently so I’m hoping someone else can chime in!

    Not sure which tabby pattern she is, but if you can provide pics that show her sides clearly we’ll probably be able to tell you :)

    Edit: her breed is domestic shorthair. The terms torbie, tortie etc. are not breeds, just colours/patterns

    Appreciate you listing all that out! I'm new to learning all the names for the overlapping pattern types. I'll upload a body picture, she's quite splotchy!

    To your edit: Oops, you're right, I knew that too, bad habit/slip of the tongue, thanks for correcting me!

    No worries! It’s pretty confusing at the best of times with torbies, but adding colourpoint, white spotting and potentially silver to the mix makes it even more so 😆 for simplicity’s sake, colloquially you could just call her a torbie point

    Copied my comment from your other post:

    Nice. It’s still a little hard to tell the tabby pattern but I think she’s a classic/blotched. These pics also have me more convinced that she’s silver (but someone please confirm 😆).

    Love seeing how she toasted up as she got older!

    Interestingly she looked like a colorpoint as a kitten but now looks like a regular torbie. Very pretty!

  • She has stripes and orange, so she looks like a torbie to me - depending on how much white she has, though, she might be a torbico instead

  • More like a tabbico for me, since there are big blocks of white.

    Such a delicate face! 😍

  • I’m not sure but she’s one of the most beautiful cats I’ve ever seen ❤️ may be a torbie dilute

    Thank you! She's my well behaved darling angel!

    You can tell in the pics . Her eyes and demeanor say sweetie pie.
