I found a great website page that defines all the different cat terminology! I was always confused between torbie and tortie, now I know the difference!!!

Finally found a picture of a torbie

caption "Macka is a Torbie, which is a combination of Tabby and Tortoiseshell..."

Although to this untrained eye, I don't notice many differences.

But what is Tilly? Her background colour is mostly black but she has orange tabby stripes on her leg:
