had a tortoiseshell calico named loretta, aka big L. damn she was the best cat. so mild mannered, loved belly rubs, practically spoke the english language, and unfortunately learned how to open doors (i say unfortunately because when she got too old to jump she realized if she scratched enough humans would come running).
far and away the best feline personality out there.
I had a torti once, she was my step dads. she would knock down things off the shelf when she was mad, but if you earned her trust she would love you forever. best cat ever
My wonderful tortoiseshell cat died in Oct 2010 at the age of 19. She was the sweetest, gentlest and most loyal cat, she was loved and is missed by us all.
aww this is so sweet, I have a tortoiseshell cat and she is just so different than any pet I have ever had...torties are odd by all means but they are loyal and make good friends
We had an beautiful sweetheart Tortoise Shell cat. Sadly she died on saturday because she was starving herself because of kidney cancer. She loved being petted and would sit on the couch and demand pets from us. Also had a cute short squeak meow. Having to put her down broke my heart.
Shes's gorgeous - and you clearly loved her to bits. I love to see pets well loved and doted on! Makes me sad to watch coz she's not with you anymore, and also she reminds me of our Jessie who passed years ago but who we still miss so much!! :(
Am I the only one with a CRAZY tortie who has big mood swings and likes to scrap with me? She's extremely loyal, but she has bitten me so many times!!
@dancereleven Same with mine. Very bratty, and likes to play rough. The funniest thing is her desire to even the score and get the last attack. The cat loves to play chase games, and other aggressive games. I'm like a big toy to her.
Yeah my tortoise shell cat is very bratty and likes to play rough as well. But is a lot of fun as long as I don't try to pet her or pick her up when she is in a bad mood which is a lot of the time.
I am sorry for your loss even though it's a long time ago, but I understand why you still miss Norton! We torties are definitely the best cats on the planet!
My tortoiseshell cat just passed away last night :'( . She was a real sweet cat . She used to sleep on my pillow behind my head every night . I will really miss her :'( . Her name was Charlotte 1993-2009.
I am very sorry for your loss! And I completely understand that you miss your best friend. I am sure she was so sweet. I am sweet, too, and I pray for you and your little angel Charlotte.
i currently have a Tortois Shell Cat right now. i've had her since she was a kitten. i thought she was a beuty, so i named her Belle from Beauty and the Beast lol. she is four years old right now, we have her sister too, her sister is a tiger cat and her name is Ripa, she's named after Kelly Rippa. can't believe they'll most likely still be alive when i'm out of the house lol. but yeah, perty cats, tortois shells are. funny.. sometimes Belle likes to lick my hair as if giving me a bath lol.
lol, but very calm and nice cats i have to admit. and it's weird how it seems like she likes me the most in the family. i kind of find it special to tell you the truth at how she perfers me the most. idk y. she just does. wonder if that's the same with all Tortois Shell Cats?
This video reminded me of my own Tortie, Mink. After being my best friend for 14 years, she walked away from our house and never came back. I will feel that pain of loss in my heart forever. Out of the 20+ cats I've owned, Torties have always been the smartest and most loving. Why is that?
My family has a Siamese mix cat and she will be 19 years old in June. She doesn't seem to be having any problems either..other than slowing down a bit. Who knows? She may live another year.
Wow, 18 years. We just lost our tortie, Hannah Boo, last week to cancer. We had her some 15 years. She was the light and life of our household. We still "feel" her presence everywhere in the house, and are finding ourselves doing things that we never realized we did for her - leave the bedroom doors cracked so she can come in at night, not leave papers on the floor so she won't tear them up, careful w/crinkly bags so we don't accidentally tease her w/treats. Little things.
to me no affence in my openion i have had 2 torties and i think they r the best even tho 1 is dead but my grandma has a boy tortie and white its more tortie than calico even tho it has white
so an good age for a tortoiseshell can is 15-20 years if so awsome cause i have 2 cats
snickers-an american shorthair
and skittles- a tortoiseshell
and i hope they live to be 20 there 4 now and snickers still acts like a kittin and skittles is a pit of a looner she only likes me,my granny,uncle,and friend but my cats are so cute

When a cat does that with his paws like that, up & down, in Japan we say "fumi-fumi" and the sound of purring "goro goro".
What a fine fine cat Norton was. I miss my cats Springer, and TC. Both died in the past few years.
