I've always called Elly a tortoiseshell, not really knowing exactly what one really was. I was told she was a tortie when I adoped her. Anyway, lots of people refer to her as a calico so I decided to figure out the differences.
I came on this link:
http://www.texankitties.com/calico.htm
It distinguishes the differences between the three types of cats; calico, tortie, and torbie.
Since Elly is mostly white and only has tabby stripes in her red (orange) fur, I concluded that she's in fact a calico cat.
I guess my question is, can anyone else verify that this web site is accurate and that my conclusion is correct?
