Does anyone have any input on Torties? She is a neat cat, ?

Question

If you've had experience with one I'd like to know more.Thanks

Answer 1

Hi

Ginger has passed away a few years ago.  She was a beautiful, black/orange/white friendly Siamese tortishell with beautiful Sapphire blue eyes.  Everyone thought they never saw blue eyes like hers on a cat before. Always clean, knew the rules of the house and was in charge of her sisters and brother.

She lived until she was about 17 years old.

Tortoiseshells bring good luck.  (I only have 1 cat now)

Answer 2

She is definitely a neat cat!!!

Answer 3

They are reputed to be a little on the feisty side and are often referred to as naughty-torties, but from personal experience I think they don't deserve that reputation.  I don't honestly believe that coat colour affects their temperament.  It's just stereo-typing in the same way that people say blondes are less intelligent or that red-heads have a quick temper.  

My previous cat that I had for 19 years was tortoiseshell and white and I couldn't have wished for a nicer or more loving cat.  She was always gentle, well behaved and extremely devoted to me.  It's because of her that I have a soft spot for tortoiseshell and calico cats.  What I particularly like about them is that their markings are unique and because of their genetic make-up it's impossible to clone their coat colouring or pattern.

The Messy Beast web site has a lot of interesting articles about them which you might enjoy reading.

Hope you and your cat have many happy years together ahead of you.

my sister's tortie hides and we never really see her my old queen was a tortie who wa bossy but was friendly on her own terms. they can be shy, bossy, unfriendly or friendly just like any other cat. she make sure she mixes with other people otherwise when strangers come she will hide and stay hidden until they have left. enjoy your princess
