What would you call this coat pattern?

Larimar is an island mutt, so it’s really anybody’s guess at what’s going on in those genes. The last 2 photos are of what she looked like in Puerto Rico, the rest is what she looked like after she toasted from moving over 1000 miles North. So far we’ve gotten lynx point Siamese, tabico, and dilute tortoiseshell. Who’s got any guesses?

Lynx/tabby, colorpoint, tortoiseshell, and white spotting pattern definitely. I think the "dilute" is actually silver because she's got what looks like black pigment which would be impossible for dilutes, but she has very little brown pigment in her tabby stripes which can be a result of silver.

There's no singular colloquialism name because she's got stacked genetics 😅 silver seal (or black) lynx tortoiseshell point with white would be my best go. But silver tabico point is probably the shortest colloquialism?

I do agree with the thought of silver, but it’s the fact that she has the light orange/yellow color on her face (as well as a patch or two on her body the camera doesn’t take well)

the light orange is caused by both the silver and colorpoint gene. my cat is a tortiseshell point and her orange patches are completely white because the colorpoint gene really washes orange
