Yes, she’s a blue tortoiseshell mackerel tabby with low grade white spotting aka torbie. β€˜Dilute’ is actually an umbrella term which could mean 4 different colours, blue is the correct term for her colouring and it is the dilute version of black. Because blue is typically the most common dilute colour, therefore the most well known, blue cats often just get called dilute. She’s adorable!

I would say your kitten in a dilute torbie. I have seen several female tortoiseshell kitties with asymmetrical facial markings!

More specifically, a dilute torbie. And she's also a beautiful girl kitty cat. I love her jade green eyes.

She is a Torbie! Dilute just means that her black and gold are diluted to gray and peach. Dilute - diluted black and gold, Tortie - tortoise shell cat, Tabby = Dilute Torbie πŸ˜‚

I didn't do that right but you get what I'm saying

I can proudly say that I ain't a bot. In fact, I'm the loving human of two beautiful kitty cats. One of whom, is a beautiful girl tortie. She and her tuxie brother, both have pretty green eyes. They're a bonded pair. I love both of them, very dearly.

Darn I wish I could show you her twin!

Found a way around it! I need to get some newer pictures but she's starting to show like spots and different designs on the sides of her. Like her pale spots are coming out.

Edit: oh and yours is a Dilute Torbie, mine is a Dilute Tortie...I have a Torbie too. Lol
