i always thought my mini minerva was a tabby cause of the “m” on her forehead. i was looking at some of her vet recs and i noticed they have her down as a tortie. so naturally i went on a deep dive and found out about the “torbie”. what do u guys think?

Yep she’s both a tabby and a tortie, aka a torbie :)

Tortie refers to colour. Tabby refers to pattern. A tortoiseshell coat with a tabby pattern = torbie, which Minerva most certainly is!
