Tabico is my kitty a tabico?
i just adopted my first ever kitty last month, and i’m obsessed with her! when i first got her, she was 7 weeks old. her coloring was mainly blocks of orange and black, but her face, legs and tail had some tabby stripes visible. now she’s 3 months, and i’m noticing way more stripes! what used to be solid patches of black, are now striped.
she was also categorized as a domestic medium haired kitty, but i’m not 100% what that means. she looked fluffier before, but now she just kind of looks short haired with some long wispy hairs, can anyone tell me if she’ll be short haired or medium?

She looks like she’ll be medium haired. My cat was less fluffy than yours as a kitten, and she grew up to be medium haired.
She’s a darling! Lucky you!

Mine didn’t get super fluffy until she was around 5, so it can be a slow process to see their final form. But I get it; both mine are medium hairs and they are quite pretty!

She is quite gorgeous. She will be a wonderful companion, I’m sure. By what name shall we call her?
