Is Kizzy a "Torbie"?



I've been trying to get a good picture that shows the colours and markings on her back. I think she's a torbie - what do you think?

(If you think she's put on a bit more weight than is good for her, I agree. She's on a diet!)

Well Angie she certainly has a lot of brown in her coat. Certainly looks like she could be a Torbie.

She's got almost "gingery russety" bits too that don't show that well!

She's gorgeous, I'd describe her as a dark-misty tortoiseshell.
I don't think we've got enough proper colour descriptions for our cats.
There are all sorts of 'colour names' for dogs and in fact for horses, so why can't we have proper colour specifics for our gorgeous felines?
Ideas anyone?

She has the tabby rings on her tail, the tabby M, rings on her legs and bracelets on her chest; don't remember if she has a spotty tummy. And her coat is brindled: colors all mixed together rather than in tabby stripes. So, she's a brown torbie as far as I can see! A beautiful one, too!
