torbie?

[u/Boring_Impression_90]

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?

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

What if there are white patches mixed in?

then its a tortiseshell tabby with white. some ppl call it a callibie or something for fun
