GL-I love you kitty and I must say I'm pretty fond of her name also.

[Prettymaid]

GL, Katie looks like she has unusual markings - her face is adorable!

A pastel calico (or a dilute calico)--very pretty!

[Prettymaid]

Thanks EV. What kind of calico is my Gracie?

[Brooke]

GL and PM, your kitties are beautiful! I love them!

[Molly]

Thanks EV. What kind of calico is my Gracie?

Awwww, PM. Gracie looks exactly like one of my favorite cat's I had growing up. I had to sit and think and think what her name was (gawd, I hate getting old!). Taffy!

Love the name, too!

I'm not Eva, but I'm pretty sure I know the answer to your question:

Gracie is of the Felineicus Ferocious Cuticus in the Animal Kingdon Pet Phylum.

Agreeing with Mike here, but also trying to get a better idea of her exact coloring. The window light, although lovely, is making it difficult for me to tell. Is she black/orange on her body, and grey/lighter orange on her head? Or are the spots the same color in both places?

[Prettymaid]

The spots are same color in both places - gray and orange. Thus the name Gray-cee (Gracie) Just kidding - we didn't even think about that until after we had named her!

[eaglesvet]

Then she's be the same as Katie, a pastel calico...which is the "dilute" version of the traditional calico, where the black/bright orange gene gets diluted to a grey/pale orange. I like the term pastel better.
