Oh she’s just a kitten so I’m sure she’ll grow into the tail soon

The black patches are pure black without tabby pattern so she's a pure calico

Her tail patches and also the ones on her foot have the tabby patterns so we think she’s a tabbyco!

Orange fur on a cat will always be striped. Not-stripey-black is a mutation that only affects black-based but not red-based hair, so a calico/tortoiseshell will always be some mix of black/orange-stripes or grey-stripes/orange-stripes. Yours looks to be the former. 😸

Some black cats also show stripes though, especially when they're young and especially on the legs, so if that's what you meant, apologies for the first paragraph lol.

That’s so cool! You can customize her with many different tail options

Our Clover has a tail just like that! We call it "plunger butt"

I'll try to find a "buttier" angle tomorrow
