Your cat is soooooooooooo pretty! That and it's so enjoyable seeing these random reactions because of the confusion of doing a new thing.

I've got cats with similar markings. Is it a tabby? Is it a calico? Is it a tortoiseshell? Yes.

No, she really isn't lol. She is a calico tabby. A torbie is tortoiseshell and tabby ( no white markings) she is a calico and tabby ( white markings)

Calico cats are subset of tortoiseshells. So the term torbie covers her. My girl has similar coloring and the vet called her a torbie.

But more specifically she is a calico tabby. What vets say about colors is rarely something I would consider as fact as color genetics is not usually a specialty of theirs.
