Hi everyone, I just adopted a new female kitten (close to 1 yr) from animal control and she is one of the friendliest and most affectionate cats. Come to think of it, I've never been around an unfriendly  or aloof cat. I was worried how long should would still be there because she already had been there half a year and animal control just seized 11 cats and 2 dogs. Is the tortuiseshell bias real? She was given the name Alex but I'm not sure how much I like it. I was wondering if I could have some help coming up with names? - personality is very playful, friendly, and she flops like a rabbit when lays down on you (kicks all feet out from under her and falls on her side and is very startling when you are asleep). Hopefully I can have her introduced to my bonded pair before making the trip from Montana to stl so there's no tension. My family cat is deathly afraid of the rabbits while they pay her no attention. Just realized I rambled on a little long.

Here are some pictures:

We also have a Tortie that we adopted when she was 6 m/o last Feb. Her name is Amber named for the color of her eyes. Her foster named her Dixie. My Tortie is very sweet she likes to lay next to me or my daughter with her legs wrapped around our arm holding us close to her. Your Tortie is darling.  We adopted a Calico long hair today and so we are also going to slowly introduce her to our other 3 Kitties. Our new girl is named Beauty and she hiding under my daughters bed as I write this post. She has been under there all day. She was very affectionate at the adoption site but I realize she will need some time to trust us and feel safe.Anyway here is a pic of our Tortie Amber. How do you like the name Patches for yours Patch for short?

Hi, welcome to The Cat Site.

She's a very pretty girl. I don't know if it's true what they say about tortoiseshell cats. I have one tortie, Mia and her torbie mother Susy, and they are both very bossy little divas. But I have another torbie girl called The Mu and she's the sweetest, most easy going cat I ever met. 

Have you seen our thread for torbie, tortie and calico cats?
