#cats have been my special interest for YEARS and when i see ppl call torties w/ white calicos i want to die

[toynbeetile]

Idk how many times I have to say this

But

Tortie+white =/= calico

some of y'all have never seen a tortie before I swear

The pattern is what classifies them as a tortoiseshell/calico cat, otherwise they'd just all be torties

See, torties have these blended colors, like this

(those are all my cat)

Vs calicos who have circular ish colors on a white surface, at least, that's what it looks like

See?

Tortie+white

Calico
