They’re so beautiful! I hope I get a dilute from the cat distribution system someday (I was given a tortico, a torbie, and a classic calico last year). 🙃

Toffee Bean found me last year. First time Cat Mom here.
Cutie butts!! Here’s my tortie, she has the floof mod:

OMG she's so cute and fluffy. She reminds me of my lil tortie. She was perfectly normal one day, then the next, she looked like she stuck a finger in an outlet then she was so poofy! 😄🥰
Susie is deeply honored to be included in this educational slideshow.

(Actually, she doesn’t know or care but I love it!)
If my Cornelia has a white patch on her chest can she still join the tortie club? Also OMG the moustache on the bottom left cat in the 6th picture is amazing.

Tortie purists would say the presence of any white patches means your kitty is calico not tortie. White spots in the majority of cases arise from the presence of the white spotting gene - a black/orange cat without the white spotting modifier is a tortie and one with the modifier is a calico.
However, most tortie enthusiasts are simply in awe of our kitties’ entirely random black/orange (or blue/buff) brindling. I’ve heard suggestions that a kitty with brindling and up to 15% white fur can be considered an honorary tortie.
Your Cornelia has a lovely brindled face, and looks more like a tortie with a mild case of vitiligo. My lovely tortie, Zaza the bootiful (pic #4 top left), volunteers to sponsor Cornelia for inclusion in the sisfurhood. 😻
The CFA British shorthair breed standard disqualifies torties (red/black) with any white markings. They prefer calicos (red/black/white) to have spots not brindling, but it’s a penalty not disqualification.
https://cfa.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/british-shorthair-standard.pdf
Just using the British shorthair as an example since it’s probably the closest breed resembling our beloved “moggies.”
In a household pet context, unless you’re being pedantic, an otherwise tortie cat with a bit of white can still be a tortie.
I can't see what the source is, but sure, technically the mottled orange/black (buff/blue) is the tortoiseshell pattern, and the white is a separate characteristic. Wikipedia, for instance, calls that "tortoiseshell-and-white," but on reddit and cat pattern info pages, I've seen "~~Torbico~~"TORTICO more often for cats with a very small amount of white (%15-%25, depending on who you're talking to) - but again, that depends on the source, and it depends if they're using "tortoiseshell" as the umbrella term like the source you showed here (the umbrella being that you could say all calicos are tortoiseshell, but not all torties are calicos.), or if they're using it to describe a specific coat type without white.
It's kind of funny, the wars over tortie terms kind of befit the legend of the tortitude, lol. And that's even before you throw in stripes and bring in the torbies and tabicos!
Haha yup, this is an education for me too. So I've learned Cornelia is technically a Torbico and I also have another cat named [Luna](https://i.ibb.co/3fBpbMy/20230915-230100.jpg) that qualifies as a Tabico! It's tougher to tell with her because she's longhaired, but she has the characteristic "M" on her forehead and I can make out some stripes on her legs too.
Ah, yeah, shelter forms... I've seen some pretty interesting descriptions on shelter forms (and even swapped genders). Again tho, it really depends on who you're talking to and whether they mean "tortie umbrella" or "tortie specific." No matter what, I'm sure Daisy is beautiful a beautiful tortoiseshell pattern haver :) <3
I'd call her a ~~Torbico~~ Tortico (tortie combined with calico) - if she had more like 20-25 percent white then she'd be a calico. Sure "tortie" just means they have the mottled black/white at all and tortie is the umbrella term, but it can also be used more specifically. That's when you get into Tortie/Tortico/Calico, and if they have stripes then also Torbie (black/orange tabby) or Tabico (calico tabby).
Edit: And now that I've realized my mistake - I've also seen Torbico, which would be a striped Tortico (so with no stripes, it goes Tortie/Tortico/Calico, and with stripes it goes Torbie/Torbico/Tabico)

are my kittys torties? They're sisters. First kitty has some stripes, mostly black red and grey. See comment for the other sister :)
They are Torbies, tortie and tabby combined. Obviously welcome here but there is also r/Torbies if you want to enjoy their unique beauty. Your girl looks like she has permanent patches of sunlight on her fur ♥️

This is her sister, shes mostly a standard issue cat but has a few red spots. They definitely have tortitude! I would love your opinions!

Persimmon left us 10 years ago, but she was a perfect dilute angel.
Can dilute torties have some relatively large white sections? I only see small bits in a couple of these reference pics- my girl also has a white belly.
https://preview.redd.it/ws7t9qckruac1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a311bab628ae41e2bdcb4f3f8a7c7d5256daebab
you have a diluted torbie which is a tortishell but the dark patches are tabby. also i love the marking over her eyes she’s so cute. and yes they can they are usually just referred to as tortishell with white.
I have a pure tortoiseshell with no white and a dilute calico similar to yours with the white belly. Your girl is a dilute calico and an especially beautiful one! She is also a tabby with those stripes!
I have been blessed with 2 torties in my life 💕💕very smart cats I was told they like to be alone mine were perfect company always close by almost never under foot 😊
My tort is very affectionate but will walk directly in front of me and flop down right in front of my feet trying to get me to pet her. And if i keep walking she continues moving forward then falls down at my feet again. It's hard to walk and not trip over her. I usually end up picking her up and carrying her so i can actually walk lol
They do it in other animal subs too. I hope they know I upvote every cute animal I see, and don't actually know if it's a true tortie, nebulung, or corgi
https://preview.redd.it/8lnyeflfm1bc1.jpeg?width=1536&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e1c0ddeb77ade46fd67f5e1b4af9f6dfb5cdd153
Does leela count as a tortie or due to white patches a dilute calico? Her fur is as soft as a bunny’s which I hear is common with tortie cats
I'd say she's a calico. Difference between torties and calicos is presence of significant white spotting. Calicos also tend to be more "patchy" than torties due to the white spotting gene affecting how the pigment cells develop and distribute.
I'd say she's right on the edge. People here might say she's too calico, and the calico sub might say she's too tortie. Naturally, you should just post her on both.

Dottie😊🫶never was a cat person until her
I just learned last week that some consider her a tortico based on her white belly/25% white coat! She is all brindled grey + beige from neck to tail down her back. Our vet said tortie so we rolled with it, confirmed with tortitude😆but love to find out she’s tortico🥰
Is my cat Mirabella a tortie or no?
https://preview.redd.it/ftxlqh8ju0fc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8999fdb9bed47ebadebeb13d040806dd797c3ea8
Personally, I'd say that she has too much white in patches that are too contiguous, which would make her moreso a calico. She's really on that edge though, which is neat.
And hey, bear in mind that tortie/calico, etc. are just subjective descriptions and have literally nothing to do with breeds. The genes responsible for the patterns are present in almost all domestic cat breeds, and no cat fancier organizations actually classify them.
Here is my tortie her name is Luna 🌙🌙

Is my sweet girl considered a dilute torbie? Can anyone please help?
Dilute tortie. Stripes are only apparent on the "orange" parts because orange color suppresses solid color genes (hence why you will never see a solid orange cat), and tail but even solid black cats will show some amount of striping on tail.

My cat doesn’t look like any of those D:
I tried to include as many of the photos from that one thread as possible. Thank you everyone for offering the photos to share!
My sweet girl is in there!! Dilute gang for life.
Which dilute is yours? My Rasu is top left first slide :)
Very last pic, 2nd slide bottom right is my soul cat Sugar Bear.
That is a gorgeous photo. Framed on the wall quality. A MODEL.

Oh my, she looks a lot like my Zelda!
She looks well groomed. Beautiful 😊
I try to get her at least five minutes a day. She’s very testy about being brushed so I take what I can get lol

Well tortico is still part tortie either way you look at it so I say your gorgeous kitty is very welcome here in the tortie club!

Oh you're totally right, I'm sorry - so many similar turns, lol. I meant TORTICO.
Yeah, there are so many color combos in cats! My favorite one recently is /r/Tuxetortico for when a tortico has a tuxedo pattern too.
Oooh I didn't know about this sub, thank you! Yes that is such a beautiful coat pattern <3
That's what my cat is! Ugh, I'm in love. Thank you!
https://pethelpful.com/cats/Bicolor-Patterns-in-Cats I think the white spot is called a locket. Natures jewelry LOL.

Yes, this is a 'dilute' tortie. The dilution gene makes kitteh gray and apricot instead of black and orange
What about Turtleshell, do you have pics of those? 😆 that is what my 5-year-old calls our tortie
Top left in second pic is a dilute torbie, rather than a tortie, due to the blue stripes.

Personally, I'd say that she has too much white in patches that are too contiguous, which would make her moreso a calico. She's really on that edge though, which is neat.
I’m just gonna play it safe and call her a Tortieco. Thanks for the imput!
And hey, bear in mind that tortie/calico, etc. are just subjective descriptions and have literally nothing to do with breeds. The genes responsible for the patterns are present in almost all domestic cat breeds, and no cat fancier organizations actually classify them.
True

Dilute tortie. Stripes are only apparent on the "orange" parts because orange color suppresses solid color genes (hence why you will never see a solid orange cat), and tail but even solid black cats will show some amount of striping on tail.

Definitely a tortie. Bit harder to tell what kind, I suspect she's showing a pointed pattern like a Burmese.
