Tortoiseshell cats are cloaked in the color of falling leaves in November with their interwoven patterns of red, gold, and black. "Torties" are like potato chips; once you've enjoyed one, you'll want more. Tortie cats are homebodies; they love their families, and are loyal to a "T" to the one who cares for them. Don't be surprised, though, if your tortoiseshell cat shows a streak of sass at times. That tendency is referred to as "tortitude," and is often found also in calico cats.
Feast your eyes of this parade of lovely tortie ladies, and if you are lucky to share your home with one, submit your own tortoiseshell photo with the Photo Submission Guidelines. Sorry, but I will be unable to publish your photos without all the requested information.
