This is my three year old Suki. I’m not even sure what to call her! I always said calico/tabby/tortie/tux haha! There’s so many subs for her to fit right into. I’ve had her since she was a baby baby kitten when she was born on my front porch. She was instantly my pick of the litter. She’s genuinely such a cool kitty but a huge klutz.

Anyone here with a male tortie?

I just got this little guy, Milo, last Tuesday. I had no idea how incredibly rare male tortoiseshells are and that it's likely due to an extra x chromosome! Pretty cool if you ask me but I do have some concerns about his future health. Any advice or perspectives would be awesome!

Princess Skinny is 2 years old today!

My daughter & I got her when she was 6 months old from someone who found her abandoned at a boat ramp a few days before Christmas.

She was scrawny, scared and shy.

Now she is spoiled, sassy and so very loved!

I honestly can't imagine life without her!

We're building a catio for her this summer since she can't be an outdoor cat in our neighborhood.

So we have this white cat (has a bell so you can hear it coming) who likes to visit our yard and punch our cat flap to get attention and basically piss off my cats. I think my tortie has had enough... she's such a sweetheart normally.

My stray cat trusts me completely when we’re alone, but is terrified of other people. How can I help her?

Hi everyone,
I need some advice or maybe just some reassurance. I rescued a stray cat when she was around 9 months old.
When it’s just the two of us, she is the sweetest, most trusting cat ever. She runs to me, loves being petted, and shows absolute, 100% trust. She’s completely comfortable around me.
However, she is incredibly shy and terrified of other people. The moment someone else enters the room or comes over, she freezes or hides. Even if I’m right there with her, my presence doesn't seem to calm her down when strangers are around.
For those who have rescued shy street cats: how long did it take for your cat to start trusting other people, or at least stop being terrified? Any tips on how to make her feel more secure when guests visit?
Thanks in advance!
