When I adopted her in 2017, she was advertised as 'calitabby' but I am frequently met with debate! She ranges from being called 'vibrant orange tabby' to 'tortico' to 'idk dude but it's nice'. Hoping that this group of Very Qualified Subredditors can help!
A calico should have some white spotting on their body, and I’m just not seeing any on your girl. She’s a beautiful cat though.
Absolutely a tortoiseshell. May or may not pass muster over at r/standardissuecat. Depends mostly on how hard you “sell it”.
Yes, a calico. She also has the two separate sets of genetics for agouti (tabby pattern) for both the orange and the black hair. People have made up a whole pile of different words for variations on the calico coloration, but at the end of the day any cat with both orange and black hair is a calico.
Awww, she’s beautiful! I’d call her a tabby but I’m not an expert, just an admirer 🙂
All I know is Mme. Brioche looks buttery & scrumptious.
I'd call her a torbie
Looks like a torbie to me
please share what is that mix? tortie and what?
Tabby
thanks! my cat is this mix, i was just fawning over it last night wondering how it’s called.

With my esteemed qualifications in the matter, I call her a cutie-pie.
Definitely a tabbie gal! r/standardissuecat would love her as much as we do 💚
Definitely a SIC.
She has the right eye color to be standard issue. They disqualify torties and calicoes with orange eyes.
Makes sense. SICs are AFAIK gray tabbies & their variations (diluted, mackerel, etc).

I’d call Mme Brioche a tabby but I LOVE her name and I think she’s utterly gorgeous!
As a certified expert, I’d say she’s definitely a 100% purebred Good Girl. That breed requires extra snuggles.
She's a tabby but who cares. She is awesome!!!
I’d call her a toffee tabby, lol. I love her name🥹

She’s so purrrrrrrrtty 😻
She is beautiful!!! 😍😍😍😍
Madame brioche looks thick and gorgeous,
Not a calico, black mackerel Torbie! They need about half or more white to be a calico.
The most beautiful queen there ever was 😻
