RE: Every Picture Has A Story #9: You Are Never Forgotten
She's a tortoiseshell (coloring predominantly black and orange). My sister took in a stray quite like her, but then my sister takes in almost every stray.
Oh I never knew that patching design has a name @adjohmen! I used to have one that has all 3 colours, but her dominant colour was white in her entire body and her ears are coloured one side each and her tail mixed with orange and black.
White, orange and black is a calico. The pattern - color on ears and tail is called 'van'. So, that cat was a calico van. Interesting isn't it? There are specific patterns and names for some of them too.
Indeed! I have learned something new today!
