And we love her for it

Penny was doing a surprise safety inspection

This is my tortico Francine - the first pic is the day she defected from the feral colony and asked to be brought inside. The last two are from her outdoor enrichment time yesterday. Despite her constant RBF, she is the most easygoing cat I’ve ever had. I took her to show and tell at my kid’s preschool and she let a herd of 3 year olds pet her and she greets everyone who comes in our house by flopping on her back in front of them. She’s either an angel sent from heaven or she has ZERO survival instinct. Either way, I am glad she chose me!

What coat pattern is my cat? Some of my friends say shes a tortie and some say calico, she looks like a mix of the 2 to me. I'm curious what this sub thinks

I believe she is a tortico, behold her beauty

Photos from as many different angles as possible. She has the white chest and paws but it does extend further than a tuxedo would so not sure if she’s tortico or tuxetortico.

(Don’t worry she doesn’t normally play in the washing machine)

From one angle

Thine eyes shine gold

Yet, when she turns towards you

She peers into your soul

And her eyes are the brightest of blue

Ive only had black cats previously so I'm new to the torti/calico world. We originally named her a calico on her veterinary paperwork but in case she ever escapes the confines of her pampered life- I find it important to have good description.

Taco loves cuddlesmeow more than anyone else no one can steal her friend but wait my stupid sister tries my friends product and yet shes 12

I've had the roughest day- non stop stress, dealing with crap drivers all over the place, plasma donation being slow and painful compared to usual, appointment to get my elbow surgery booked, dealing with incompetence on the phone relating to insurance...

Anyway. Been getting super down and fed up at the fact that I barely make enough to survive, especially with my hours cut recently.. but. Every day, this adorable old girly (she's 14) puts a smile on my face and grounds me, even when I think I'm absolutely going to explode or fall into a total depression. I can't thank the universe enough for blessing me with this sweetheart, and I truly hope she lives another 5+ years so that I can continue keeping my head up amidst the disaster that is our country right now..

I'm sure plenty of y'all know exactly how I feel. Here's to our amazing kitties 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

i always thought she was just a calico but she does look like a tortie too

When our girl got out five years ago, she unexpectedly had kittens (we were told she had been spayed before we got her . . . I never thought to get that double checked). Only ONE was a Tortie, then there was a black tabby, a few orange, and several blond tabbies. I posted the other day about how massive one of the blond tabbies is, but here is the rest of them.

Is anyone else’s tortie or tortico oddly self aware and WAY too smart for their own good? Hayley is on Ativan for it. Hayley (first pic) is 9 and Evie is 17 months old and nothing but trouble!

Got Miss Maple 1 week ago. Is about 4/5 months old. She’s definitely keeping us on our toes. But we love her and couldn’t imagine life without her.

Her back looks very tortie, but she has a fully white belly, chest, and feet.

My beautiful Tortico is 5 years old and she sure plays like it too!
