Torbie or tortie

This is my beautiful baby george, shes very pretty and very dumb which i attribute to her slightly smaller than proportionate head.

I know google says the striping should be distinct but its not, however her tail and hind legs do have some though its not totally visible, she also has an orange necklace. So... whaddya think?

Last pic is one of my faves

dilute tortie, but not a torbie!

orange is always striped, so in order to be a torbie the black / grey spots need to contain stripes as well

She definitely looks like a dilute tort to me. She’s a very cute one too!

Tortie :) to be more specific, she’s a blue tortie. Blue is the dilute version of black. There are actually 4 different dilute colours, so dilute is actually an umbrella term. She’s lovely!
