Our beloved Miss BooBoo Kitty had the similar markings as your Tao. However, after YEARS of calling Boo a calico, we were told by a CFA judge, Judy Thomas(who wrote an article in Cat Fancy about calicos and torties)after she saw Boo's photo: " No no,my my dear, THAT is a WHITE TORTIE!!" Boo lived until 16, so Tao, you are anything but " elderly!!" Keep you house in line, that what those white torties do best!!HAPPY COTD!!!
