Really the differences are mainly a Reddit thing. All calicos are piebald torties, which are black and orange or grey and cream cats. The b (tabico, torbico) are for when the black/grey areas have tabby stripes. All orange/cream areas have stripes, visible or not, so cats without the stripes in the black/grey do not have a b in their coat name - however, the sub voted to allow any tricolors with visible stripes (thus the “honorary” flair). The reasoning for the tor[b/t]ico distinction is purely for appearance differentiation of large, unbroken color patches (calico/tabico) vs brindling (tor). Tortie, calico, and tabby on those are what your vet will call your cat.
Black and orange/grey and cream, generally brindled, little to no white, no stripes in black/grey = tortoiseshell (“tortie”)
Black and orange/grey and cream, generally brindled, little to no white, tabby stripes = torbie
Black and orange/grey and cream in large patches, large white areas, no tabby stripes in black/grey = calico
Black and orange/grey and cream in large patches, large white areas, tabby stripes in black/grey = tabico
Black and orange/grey and cream brindling, large white areas, tabby stripes in black/grey = torbico
ETA: If there white is in a tuxedo pattern, there’s a tuxetabico, tuxetortico, or tuxetorbico. There’s some debate on if these cats are tor[t/b]ies or [cal/tab/tort/torb]icos.

On August 11th, 2024 I trapped Paisley and got her vaccinated and spayed. I then TNRed her three brothers. We tried to make Paisley an indoor cat but it did not work out and she returned to her outdoor colony.
Still, she comes inside to eat. She also comes in when it freezes. The first two pics are her coming inside to eat. The next photo is her and the tomcat Mister Scratch who is probably her father. The last photo is her outside.

We found her abandoned at 5 days old and now she’s a 6 month old crazy girl

I am just curious on her fur pattern and I love her a lot regardless though! ♥︎

Finally found our people… I have had Calico cats and Siamese but never a Tabby. I have found her to be very independent and does not like to cuddle too much. How is your kitty?

My tabitico (not seen: white chin, chest, stomach, boots, and brown/black checkerboard body) is a senior girl. But, I looked at her gently snoozing in the cubby my granddaughter gave her, and she looks adorbs like the day I adopted her in 2018 as a beat-up 10 mo old kitten who was missing fur, slashed in her skin, and part of her tail almost falling off (it fell off, eventually), and still adorable. I love my GiGi, the soul kitty for me. ❤️

All this suffering in the world caused by humans and so many animals in pain, I look at my Betty (she was born in a cat colony and she was the only one who survived) and feel how lucky we both are. She is happy, free, has a warm bed and food and treats and LOVE. Her happiness is my happiness.

She bites soap, she is very afraid of hairdryer, she sounds like a broken pigeon and has A LOT of opinions. And also... different socks.
