* Calico: White, black, and orange/cream patches.
* Tortoiseshell: Black and orange/cream patches (without white).
* Tabby: Stripes or swirl patterns.
* Dilute Calico/Tortoiseshell: Similar to calico/tortoiseshell but with muted, lighter colours.
To accurately describe a cat with a circle pattern, you could use terms like:
* Spotted: This is a general term for any pattern of spots.
* Rosetted: This refers to spots that are round and resemble roses.
* Marbled: This describes a swirl pattern with uneven, sometimes circular markings.
* Ticked: Tiny spots that cover the fur, giving it a speckled appearance.
Important Note: These terms are often used to describe patterns on specific breeds, so it's helpful to know the breed of the cat for a more accurate description.
