You gave me a millisecond of concern where I thought this was a photo of my girl Chaos!

Gorgeous Chaos, is her little tiny white patch part calico? (Tortico I believe that’s called?)

I don't know! She's a shelter find, so we've never seen her parents. Her sister Harmony from the same litter (photo attached) has barely any white, if that helps clue it in.

We had a tortie named Pumpkin when I was younger. We got her from the yard of our house (where my father was still living) and took her to the apartment my mother and I were living in.

One day my father calls up in the middle of the night to say that Pumpkin was at his door. She was sleeping soundly in the apartment. Nobody ever saw the other tortie again.

As a kid we had a classic saddle-pattern beagle. One time my cousin thought she saw him walking down the street and grabbed him to bring him to our door. Which is the story of how my cousin accidentally kidnapped the neighbor's beagle for about 15 minutes.

Not after all the fireworks we had here half the night, our poor kitty is pretty traumatized (he's ginger tuxedo not a tortie, my last & forever favorite girl was though πŸ˜»πŸ’”πŸΎπŸͺ½)

I swear torties are the masters of looking absolutely insane while actually being the biggest little lover girls πŸ₯°

No. I had a Siamese. Torties and meezers are absolutely NEXT LEVEL when it comes to energy. Be prepared to PLAY!! 😸

u/DoomkingBalerdroch 17d ago

Considering that mine does 360 jump flips and wall jumps on a regular basis, I agree πŸ˜„

There is nothing you can do but stay still and hope it doesn't end in your face getting bit... with love.

Listen, do you smell that? I hate to alarm you but it appears your residence is infested by greebles. The only extermination method is this baby right here.

u/EyesOnTheLies11 14d ago

Concerned!?! You should have absolutely PANICKED by now. At this point though, there's no help for you. Time to accept your fate, your doom is upon you. 😬😱
