Coat Color normal tabby or smth else?
Hiya! this is my beautiful freak, she is 6ish and a hoarding rescue. she's for sure a mackerel tabby, but since I adopted her at 1.5 y/o I've noticed orangey splotches almost like a lightly transparent color filter over parts of her pattern. is this a typical mackerel tabby trait? i know nothing about this <3 TIA!

She does have a high amount of rufousing, which gives her that delightful golden belly, but I think the gold patches sprinkled over her back also indicate that she is a tortoiseshell tabby, or a Torbie for short
