TORTIE PRINCESSES

"When Daddy and I go to bed at night, we check in on our human daughter, Princess Allison. However last night when we did, this is what we found! BOTH Princess daughters comfy in the Princess room!"

How adorable are these pictures. Cindi shared with me and I HAD to share with everyone!

Tortie Facts

Did you know that...?

A tortoiseshell is a cat whose coloring is a flecked mixture of either black and red (sometimes with bits of white), or blue and cream (diluted black and red).
The difference between a tortie and a calico is the pattern; torties have small flecks of colors mixed together, while calicos have large blocks and
usually a large amount of white.
Torties are almost always female. This is because the genes for color reside on the X chromosome, so for a cat to have multiple colors (i.e., black and orange), they must have two X chromosomes, therefore making them female.
Tortoiseshell is not a breed; it is a coloring.
There are torties of virtually every breed of cat, both long- and short-haired.
Torties almost always have copper or yellow eyes. (Except kittens)
People often talk about the "tortie temperament," which says that torties have an attitude’,commonly referred to as "tortietude".
