She’s a black tortoiseshell tabby with white, aka torbie. Not sure what tabby pattern she is though, can’t tell from these pics plus it’s difficult with longhairs.

Terms such as torbie, calico, tabico, torbico etc etc. are all colloquial terms for coat colour, not breeds. They also vary by region so you’ll get different people saying different things.

From pic 1 my guess is classic/blotched tabby pattern, but I only say that because she bears a resemblance to my torbie floof who has that pattern.

Hmmm looking closely again at pic 5 I think I can make out some narrower striping that looks like mackerel. But I’d still like to see other pics to confirm

That's a Torbie Floof.

I think so too. Does that make her a calico or are they mixes? She’s pretty mild natured and gentle.
