i am trying to understand the terms calico, tabby, and caliby. i would
like to ask the experts in this group, does this cat meet the criteria?

Calico has orange, grey, black white tan and back areas, not necessarily
all of these.
Tortoise is a variety of calico that has these colors more "tightly'
together, in a tabby pattern.
The cat you show has a looser 'brown tabby' pattern, but without the
typical calico colors.
IMHO
