Hi everyone! Just curious what color you all think my boy Peanut is. And he’s a mackerel tabby, right?

He's one of three kittens I found dumped two years ago. His siblings are nothing like him. His snout is long and narrow, he seems medium hair (if that a thing) and his fur is soft like a rabbits. Nothing like my other seven cats! He's just so beautiful. And his voice is very high pitched 😆. My partner says he's feminine for a male cat. I forget what coat he is but his colors are grey, ivory, and white. When he was younger the swirls of white on his coat were much more pronounced.

Rook- of koortsvacht ?

Mijn mainecoon kitten is 8 weken oud
Ze wordt verkocht als een rook-kitten
Maar is ze dat echt? Of is dit een koortsvacht?

I added a blerp in the Torbie chat thinking that maybe Roux was a black mackerel tortoiseshell but it looks like he might just be a brown tabby with rufousing. Adding here for any other options!

Hello, can anyone help me with this kitten's colour and coat type please?

The breeder called him a black silver, is that another term for smoke?

She said there is some ghosting.

I am speaking with her today but it is very early morning at the moment.

Any help is appreciated.

i've been obsessed with thatcatladyjen's account lately and i'm a bit puzzled by this cat! she looks so light for a black tabby, no? do you guys think she could be a cinnamon tabby or something?

So sorry if this has already been discussed. It seems like a super obvious discussion point, but I searched and didn’t see it.

Is wisdom panel worth it for cats? Credible and reliable? Informative?

Thanks!

This is my cat (my son) Sushi who is 2 years old. Everytime I bring him to the vets they say he’s a really unusual looking cat, I always just thought he was a grey and white tabby with brown (orange?) patches. No idea what type of Tabby either honestly, so I’m really curious. He’s got black and pink toe beans as well!

Both the mother and father are blue British short hairs. Why does my kitten have tabby markings ? Thanks

Adopting two kittens from the same litter in approx 6 weeks. Currently about 3 weeks old, mom is a long haired lynx point, father unknown. The other kitten I’m adopting is the sibling who appears to be flame point? At birth they were solid black and solid white but the solid black kitten is showing some lighter parts from the pictures I received today. Any ideas?

this is candy! he’s three months old and the cutest boy ever. can’t stop thinking about his coloring, so i figured i would turn to the experts and ask what you think this coat pattern is called. more pics in comments

He's a big Maine Coon. I figure he's a black tabby and just looks brown from higher rufus. Is he a classic tabby? It's hard to tell with the fluff. Does the brown-pink nose reveal anything about his hidden genes like with yellow labs? Thank you!

Little Baby Ruthie has left me stumped when it comes to her coat color. A lot of her coloring feels diluted with grey and peachy colors but she does also have some true black and orange mixed in. I notice the most pigmented parts of her are the top of her head, her legs/paws, her tail, and her black stripe down her belly. On another page some said she looked like she could be a smoke tortie or a colorpoint, both which I had never heard of. She does also have a unique checkered pattern on her face and chest :)

Adding a pic with her sister Gloria who is fully pigmented for comparison. I’ve had some say it’s hard to tell because of the lighting which I understand so adding a handful of pics! It’s really in the natural lighting you notice how light she is

Curious in any thoughts, thanks!

I thought this kitten was black but he's got a lot of fading, under the sun I swore he was more of a really dark grey. I checked the roots and some of them look grey/silver, but on his legs you can see they're black with silver/white guard hairs.

This kitten also has, like, exceptionally thick fur. No poofy tail yet but I'm sure he will be long haired.

I think this may be a fever coat and he will turn black, but I wanted a 2nd opinion.

These babies are 5 weeks old today!! They’re both girls, and they have one other sister (flame point) and three brothers (one blue, two flame point).

The consensus on my last post seems to be that they are likely red-on-blue. 5 week update: tail tips are still gray, their patterns are starting to really pop, and it’s seeming like they might both be dilute? I thought they would get darker orange as they got older, but they seem to be getting a little lighter if anything! All the other pictures I see of orange kittens are much darker at this age. I’d welcome any thoughts or opinions, are they apricot maybe?

Here are some updated pics of their coats, plus a couple bonus ones that don’t show their colors as well but are just cute :)

As far as I am aware he's just labeled as an orange cat since we adopted him, and I know no more than that! It feels like dependent on lighting he goes between a toasted orange and a tan/yellowish coloration, but I tried to show a few pics that are consistent. Along with that, he's covered with freckles on some of his paws (not that he'd let me get a good pic), lips, nose and even eyelids. Would definitely love to learn more about this old man :)

I adopted the torbie after the brown tabby. Many family and friends asked why I got such a similar second cat and wouldn’t it be confusing.

Please vindicate me in identifying their differences because their colors are really different despite pretty similar tabby patterns!

The brown tabby was more grey when he’s younger, but he has rufoused as he aged. The torbie’s orange color has stayed consistently throughout the years.

I have two fully black cats, brother and sister. The girl Cassiopeia, has a small white patch on her tummy. Both have a few odd white hairs here and there. Those are all normal for a black cat. But the boy, Perseus, has an odd grey marking on his back leg, that I have never seen before. I'm wondering if anyone knows what genetics might be causing this. It is only on his back right leg, nowhere else on his body. Is it just seeing the tabby underneath? But then why is it only on one leg? I included a handful of photos. In the photos, it also looks like it is on the base of his tail and his tummy, but this is not noticeable in person.

Hello, this is Pumpkin! She's a 6 year old tabby and white, and ever since my sister adopted her own tabby (who has a tawny coat), I can't help but notice that Pumpkin's coat looks a bit different.

My sister's tabby seems to have consistent colors in his coat, meanwhile Pumpkin's coat looks like it has gray, brown, white, and orange woven all through it. I'm curious to know if there is a name for this so I can look into it more, thank you!

Hi! So I’ve had my cat for a little over a year and he’s almost 2 years old. I’ve never seen a cat with his coat color before and I get lots of questions about what type of cat he is. He’s obviously a DSH tabby but again I’ve never seen his specific coloration before and was wondering what it’s called!
Some additional info is he was a street cat before I snatched him up as a kitten, his mom is a standard tabby, he’s at what the vet says is a healthy weight at 13.5 pounds, and his brother from the same litter who I also adopted is about the same size. Also I’m from the US if location helps.
All of the photos except the last one are in bright to dim natural light
Thanks in advance!
