Pixie the pregnant Torti

Ok, thanks to help from this forum, found out I am the proud slave to a Torti.

Thanks to my Torti, I've found out that cats with green eyes sometimes end up with yellow eyes when photographed.

It took me two rooms, about an hour, and about 30 photos....but I finally managed to capture Pixie Witch's green eyes for all to admire.

Now just look at those eyes and tell me that "tortitude" is a figment of my imagination! Go ahead! I won't believe you, but you can go ahead and tell me! Despite knowing many many many different cats over the years - this little Pixie had me baffled, until I started researching "tortitude". Meanwhile, Pixie continues to swell up, and it's not from worms....so....looks like babies are indeed on the way!

Awr what a little sweetie-pie! I bet those babies will be gorgeous if they look like their mama

Have to admit....I'm getting curiouser and curiouser about what the babies will look like myself. Especially since Pixie's keeping mum about the daddy....

I love her green eyes, I have tortitude in my house too,

The two kittens I just adopted had a torti for a mom that looked very similar. The five kittens (who were all boys) were: one all black, one all grey, one all buff, and two orange tabbies, one swirled and one striped. A nice mixture.

Gorgeous little tortie girl! But you'll have to find someone else to tell you that tortitude is a figment of your imagination. I don't know how many times I have seen that precise look.

It's a theory about torties' fur not being the only mixed-up thing about them--how their brains are affected too, as are the rest of their bodies, making them more erratic in emotion and behavior too. Kind of a more "dramatic" tendency than most cats.

I am in the other camp on the tortitude thing. I hear about it but with all the torties/calicos I've had and known, I have never seen it. Have seem something similar in cats of other colors though!

Hope Pixie has an easy pregnancy
