Missy is a dilute tortie - she seems to be getting darker with age though!!!  Although it might just be my eyesight, anyway just a good excuse to post a photo of her!

Whats Calico?

See:- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calico_cat Perhaps it explains better than we can or most certainly better than me. ;D

think mm said the photos look darker than she is due to the phone camera, if ya look closely she does look abit grey/blue in those patches rather than black.

Noooooooooooo not exactly but can be, usually a calico is more like Sasa, nearly all white with just a few blobs of color and ofeten they have a face mask like her too.

I saw somewhere relating to cat shows I think, it may have been in the states cos calico is an american term, but a top calico would be like Sasa and the face mask would have to be the same either side and not much other colour like Sasa.

Yep Lynn a dilute calico  ;D my typo  :doh:

CC, tortis are more speckled and even, calicos have blocks of 3 colours and dilutes are when the colours are more blue grey & peach.

Lottie is the one to explain further with her gene knowledge (that goes right over my head!)

Look for Sasa in Cat show................she is a calico  ;D

Easiest way to find her is in the clases cos she was only entry in calico . She is very different to your normal looking tortie  ;D

my understanding cc is when the tortie colours are in patchwork style with white (blocks of colour) rather than the different colours mixed through but i seem to log it in my brain then "forget" again  :Crazy:

She's lovely, hope you managed to juggle your pens.

I'm chuckling...we have this tortie discussion about oh...once every month i'm sure  :evillaugh:  Now i'd say she was dilute calico rather than tortie ????  But of course i can quite easily be wrong on this topic   :evillaugh:

ok correcting myself..tortie & white ??  :Crazy:  See i always get muddled LOL
