Hi everyone,
Well, strictly, this Tortie isn't mine, she's my auntie's, but I have claimed 30% ownership over her! Her name is Biba, she is 5 years old, and is

We bought her from a cat rescue just on Saturday, but she has settled in so well! She is adorable.
Anyway, here's the pics!

Torties have a beautiful blend of black and orange interspersed like a tortoise shell turtle. You can see more here. As a a cat gets more white, the colors separate more and become what is known in the US as a calico. Torbies have the distinct tabby markings with the orange and black. Dilutes have the lighter cream/gray markings.

She is beautiful and reminds me of my Lucy.

Thank you soo much everybody. She has got very interesting markings, white socks, a white "bib", one ginger toe, and a little ginger smear on her face.

That's what I love about Torties, th variety.
