Gorgeous kitty! I would guess she had a “dilute” form of brindle calico (also called tortiseshell or tortie) with very little/no white. In the dilute expression of cat color patterns, black becomes grey, and orange becomes tan or golden. Here’s some more examples of dilute tortie: [![](https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v130/chimpmeister/advocats/IMG_4030cs.jpg) ](https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v130/chimpmeister/advocats/IMG_4030cs.jpg) [http://imgc.classistatic.com/cps/poc/121108/336r1/765482f\_27.jpeg](http://imgc.classistatic.com/cps/poc/121108/336r1/765482f_27.jpeg) [http://imgc.classistatic.com/cps/poc/121108/119r1/6169ma1\_27.jpeg](http://imgc.classistatic.com/cps/poc/121108/119r1/6169ma1_27.jpeg) [![](https://catonsvillecats.files.wordpress.com/2009/07/dilute1.jpg?w=600) ](https://catonsvillecats.files.wordpress.com/2009/07/dilute1.jpg?w=600) ---

Speaking of dilute calicos, any chance to post pictures of my little poopsie. 🙂 [Feather on her cushion on the couch.](http://i151.photobucket.com/albums/s142/featherlou/Family/SAM_3423_zps6f9edd41.jpg) [Feather sleeping in a weirder position than usual.](http://i151.photobucket.com/albums/s142/featherlou/Family/SAM_3339_zps85a0aab9.jpg) If she is a dilute calico, which seems likely, she should be a great kitty. Feather is a very nice, gentle, loving cat - my only complaint is that she is awfully loud at times, when we aren’t worshipping her correctly. 🙂 ---
