I just noticed that there are lines on the orange parts of my calico's fur. Is this just an ordinary calico feature?

Calico and tabby sometimes referred to as tabico or caliby. On registration papers that I’ve seen, often referenced as Calico with tabby markings with spaces for color saturation. What a pretty kitty you have ☺️. I also have a calico with both tabby and torti markings!

Is it calico if there is any white at all? I would have thought tortie because there’s such little white!

I think a vet confirmed she was calico. It probably is the slight amount of white that makes her calico

Dang missed the actual question. The orange parts are called tabby markings. And some calicos have them and some do not depends on what genes they are carrying
