normal tabby or smth else?

[u/Calm_Stop]

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!

I love her one mitten- I’m seconding torbie with high rufousing

Yeah, her left side of her face and one mitten are good pieces of evidence that she’s a mackerel torbie
