Decades ago, I got my first cat for my 6th birthday. As a kid, I never figured out how to describe her coloring. Based on memory, I was calling it a mottled gray. I'm currently on my second (known) tortie, but it's only since joining this sub that I've wondered if K.D. was a tortie. I just found this photo in an old photo album. This old photo distorts the colors, but I think it's safe to say she was a tortie.

how common are these guys? i've never seen one or heard of them before this subreddit and i've owned a ton of cats.

I just found this sub today! So happy!! This is my tortie girl, Pippa. I should’ve called her Sybil. She has so many personalities inside that tiny little noggin. 💖

our little lady mercedes -aka peanut butter nose- loves climbing up on my husband’s shoulders and back like this. he’ll lean over a bit to keep her steady and they’ll walk around the house for a few minutes together, and she’ll rub her face against the back of his head the entire time. it’s her favorite activity, probably because it’s the highest she can get where we live (hubs is 6’1). she’s very much a daddy’s girl.

Our little “squeaker”.

I always sto

Which let’s be honest will probs be a foster fail! Lil Toadstool.

her moms name is missy/misfit

whenever there's a fluffy blanket, bella will always knead it and get this faraway dreamland look on her face, like she's daydreaming about being a kitten again 🥺

Looking at possibly adopting Lily, the rescue lists her as a dilute calico but she kind of looks like a tortie. Just want to know if I would need to brace myself for possible tortitude
