{{{ Frosting Cat? Or Red Velvet Cat?

[DaDwarf]

I think Frosting cake cat will suit it well? I'll add it it ^.^

The first and last ones are Vans as far as I know.


Brown Grey Turkish Van


Tortoiseshell and White / Calico with White
I'd say just "Calico," as Calicos are tri-colored with orange, black, and white


Red Tabby with White (or Red Mackerel Tabby with White if you want to get specific)
Orange Tabby (with white)


Torbie (with White)


Black Turkish Van

Those aren't Van Cats. Van Cats are all white with mismatched eyes. They are, however, Turkish Vans
My suggestions in bold; "optional" additions in parentheses.
As for a group name, I'd say either 2nd Gen. House Cats, Domesticated Cats, or maybe Realistic/Natural Cats.

Turkish Van is a breed, not a marking.
Van is the name of the pattern. Here are a couple of sites with a bit of info on them, I had trouble finding sites about Van the pattern rather than Turkish Van the breed: http://www.kittycat.co.za/cat-colours-a ... ns-part-9/

The first cat looks Brown to me; it seems to be the same colour as the pictures when you image search. Grey isn't a cat colour, it would be Silver or Blue. I am wondering if the cat should be Brown Tabby Van rather than just Brown Van though?

Tortoiseshell and Calico are synonyms in the US but not the UK from what I can tell. The colours are a bit blended which means it would be a Tortoiseshell and White, although they aren't really blended that much (especially when compared to some cat pictures when you google tortoiseshell) so Calico is probably fine for it; 2nd Gen Calico might be best since the parent was from a calico litter if I recall correctly.

Orange isn't a cat colour, it's a Red Tabby with White. I think it was Minimanta that said that was the correct term for the cat when it was discussed in the monthly thread (I think I originally said Ginger).

The Torbie cat has to have With White because a Torbie is ginger & black striped without white patches.

So I think that would have the names:
Brown Tabby Van
2nd Gen Calico
Red Tabby with White
Torbie with White
Black Van
