We have a young calico colored cat. It has very light tan markings plus blue colored markings and no other color on it. I have never seen a blue and light tan colored cat before. Does anyone know anything about this color of cat?

It's called a Blue Cream or a Dilute Tortoiseshell or Calico depending on how much white.
