Torties, Tortoiseshells, and Calico Question

[catloverforever]

Thanks for replying to my question about Torties, Tortoiseshells, and Calicos! Everyone's reply was really helpful, and now I know that they aren't really breeds, just coat patterns, and the real breed is just DSH. Here are some pictures of the new kitten. Do you think she is a tortoiseshell or a calico for coat pattern? I think she may be a tortoiseshell.

She sure is adorable and looks like a she might be a Torbie/Tortie to me.

Thanks for replying ! She might be a tortie/Torbie , but how about a black tortie with white, like in this picture??
PS. Your kitties are cute,too!

OMG, look at the widdle baby! What's her name? She is so sweet to look at!

Thanks for saying my new kitten is cute . Her name is Nitschke (NitschKEY). It is an interesting name, I know. She is named after the football player Ray Nitschke. One of my other cats, Reggie, was also named after a football player, Reggie White. He has white paws, so the name goes with him perfectly. And my last cat, Nellie, was just named Nellie because I liked the name.
PS. I am enclosing a picture of Reggie White, who was Cat of The Day January 29, 2007. Enjoy and thanks!
PPS. All of your cats are REALLY cute! And your doggie, too!

Yes, I think that you're right. Whatever her coloring is, she sure is a cutie pie and your other cat Reggie is very handsome too.

What a little cutie pie. I would say you are correct on the black tortie with white. My Lilith also had white feet and a white belly with a big black splotch on her chest.

She is gonna be one gorgeous girl when she gets big. A knockout for sure.

That is a cute kitten!

If she came into our hospital we'd mark her down as a Domestic Shorthair, Black Torti-with white.

One of my torti's has some barely visable orange stripes on one leg but not as prominant as yours, my two and my mom's cat don't have any white on them.


Here's a site with pix of torti's with white
