Hello! I submit unto you my lovely cat Maisie. I’ve been trying to identify her coat pattern myself, and I’m getting lost in the rabbit hole of dilute coat colours and tabby patterns. Best guess right now is “dilute black half-white” with some level of mackerel tabby. Can you get me closer and/or correct me?
Blue blotched tabby bicolor
Blue is dilute black. Bicolor is half-white. Blue tabbies often have low contrast markings, but you can tell she's blotched (also called classic) by the "bullseye" on her side. Here's a cat with the same markings but without dilute, so you can reference:
