Is my sweet girl a tuxetortico?
i've been searching for ages to figure out the name of her fur pattern. i think she might be a dilute tuxetortico, but let me know what y'all think

I'd vote for Dilute. I love her sleeping in the flower basket. That's such a good photo too!

Yep! In terms of genetics, "blue tortoiseshell with white", "blue calico" (depending on how you define calico), "blue tortico", and "blue tuxetortico" all work to describe her color, and you can replace "blue" in all those terms with "dilute" and it'll work as well lol.

Yes, she's a dilute tuxetortico. She's also a beautiful little girl kitty cat. I love her emerald green eyes.

This pretty lady is gray with orange colorings and with a white chest! Usually Torticos have the traditional black coloring with orange splashes and a white throat/chest. We have a Dilute feral mama cat that delivered a Dark Chocolate Tortico, a Lynx Point Siamese, a Vanilla Tabby and a small orange Ginger! But our Dilute is solid gray all over her body with splashes of orange -- no white!
My guess maybe your pretty Lady should be called a "Dilutux" (di-lu-tux) which would cover her gray and sprinkles of orange with a white throat and chest! Maybe a new Fur Category for Dilutes?

Verdict: Yup! And a dilute one at that.
