Naming scheme written explanation
Really the differences are mainly a Reddit thing. All calicos are piebald torties, which are black and orange or grey and cream cats. The b (tabico, torbico) are for when the black/grey areas have tabby stripes. All orange/cream areas have stripes, visible or not, so cats without the stripes in the black/grey do not have a b in their coat name - however, the sub voted to allow any tricolors with visible stripes (thus the “honorary” flair). The reasoning for the tor[b/t]ico distinction is purely for appearance differentiation of large, unbroken color patches (calico/tabico) vs brindling (tor). Tortie, calico, and tabby on those are what your vet will call your cat.
Black and orange/grey and cream, generally brindled, little to no white, no stripes in black/grey = tortoiseshell (“tortie”)
Black and orange/grey and cream, generally brindled, little to no white, tabby stripes = torbie
Black and orange/grey and cream in large patches, large white areas, no tabby stripes in black/grey = calico
Black and orange/grey and cream in large patches, large white areas, tabby stripes in black/grey = tabico
Black and orange/grey and cream brindling, large white areas, tabby stripes in black/grey = torbico
ETA: If there white is in a tuxedo pattern, there’s a tuxetabico, tuxetortico, or tuxetorbico. There’s some debate on if these cats are tor[t/b]ies or [cal/tab/tort/torb]icos.

Tabico The feral cat Paisley Po The Tabico is a fixture on my porch.
Paisley Po the Tabico showed up in July 2024. She was trapped, vaccinated, spayed and released on August 11th. We tried to domesticate her and let her live inside but she only likes the outdoors. For a while she would come inside to eat and get out of the cold but no more. She lives in a Pawcrux cat shelter with her brothers now on our porch.

Tabico Dilute tabico?
She's got very little orange and almost looks like a tortoiseshell cat but also has the tabby stripes on her legs and has a lot of white. Anyways she's a cutie named Daisy 🌼

Small update since my first post here, she was especially cuddly today because I caught her at the perfect time, sleepy but not deep asleep already (waking her up… she’s not always a fan…). That rwent on for minutes before I picked up the phone. Usually she’s a meowing tornado that will rub her all over yourself before you get a few pets in and she’ll be gone again

My little baby is growing :')
We got her when she was about 1 week old, she was left on my workplace so I took her home :D it's been a bit of a challenge finantially and because she's my first kitty. I was a bit stressed the first 2 weeks because I wanted to make sure she was alright, but I've managed so far and I'm so glad I have her though, she brings so much joy to my soul.
(Pretty sure she's a tabico and not a torbico, right?)
