Really the differences are mainly a Reddit thing. All calicos are piebald torties, which are black and orange or grey and cream cats. The b (tabico, torbico) are for when the black/grey areas have tabby stripes. All orange/cream areas have stripes, visible or not, so cats without the stripes in the black/grey do not have a b in their coat name - however, the sub voted to allow any tricolors with visible stripes (thus the “honorary” flair). The reasoning for the tor[b/t]ico distinction is purely for appearance differentiation of large, unbroken color patches (calico/tabico) vs brindling (tor). Tortie, calico, and tabby on those are what your vet will call your cat.
Black and orange/grey and cream, generally brindled, little to no white, no stripes in black/grey = tortoiseshell (“tortie”)
Black and orange/grey and cream, generally brindled, little to no white, tabby stripes = torbie
Black and orange/grey and cream in large patches, large white areas, no tabby stripes in black/grey = calico
Black and orange/grey and cream in large patches, large white areas, tabby stripes in black/grey = tabico
Black and orange/grey and cream brindling, large white areas, tabby stripes in black/grey = torbico
ETA: If there white is in a tuxedo pattern, there’s a tuxetabico, tuxetortico, or tuxetorbico. There’s some debate on if these cats are tor[t/b]ies or [cal/tab/tort/torb]icos.

All this suffering in the world caused by humans and so many animals in pain, I look at my Betty (she was born in a cat colony and she was the only one who survived) and feel how lucky we both are. She is happy, free, has a warm bed and food and treats and LOVE. Her happiness is my happiness.

She bites soap, she is very afraid of hairdryer, she sounds like a broken pigeon and has A LOT of opinions. And also... different socks.

This is Molly and I’ve been wondering if she’d be considered a tabico of if she’s a just a tabby.

Found this today at Cracker Barrel. Looks a lot like my Molly. Had to get it plus it’s only $1.49.

She only has three legs, but what makes her extra special is her unique coat. All the colors, stripes here and there, and wispy/feathery fur. She looks like a magical tiny fox.

Purr Lee showed up about two weeks ago with her feral mother Atsea. Atsea was trapped on August 10th, vaccinated and spayed. One of her kittens, the Ticked Torbie Purrsephany, was accidentally trapped with her so Purrsephany was spayed also.
Purr Lee has not been vaccinated or spayed and I will be waiting a few weeks before I try and trap her. This is so she is closer to 12 weeks old.
It is hot in Central Texas now and the kittens camp out all day on the back patio in the shade by the fresh water bowl. There mother Atsea visits daily after an absence of eight days after her spay.
All the cats mentioned run away at the sight or sound of us. They are really feral but I aim to change that.
