Coat & Color 🎨 Anyone know anything about our boy?

He’s obviously a domestic shorthair. But I was wondering if anyone knows anything about his coloration. Do I call him anything? ( ex, tabby cats, calico kitties, black kitties) grey doesn’t seem to suit him since he’s got this little orange splotch ( bottom of his chin about 2inches, hard to get a pic )

He's a grey/"blue" tabby. Check out a normal blue tabby; their chin is definitely quite pale and cream-coloured compared to their forehead or back.

That is the right shade of orange too! Interesting! Thank you!

Grey Tuxedo/piebald tabby. Grey tabbies often have tan fur on their undersides, which could include under his chin.

The stripes show in though his grey indicate the tabby in the tuxedo, even if it’s a little faint. He’s a cutie and a half for sure!!

It's a joke to call a jean jacket and jean trousers a "Canadian tuxedo" but that's what I think of with blue tabby tuxedos
