 My cat named little slim has multiple orange dots on her black fur and a bit of orange on the right side of her left eye,Does that mean she has vitiilgo?Her mother was born from a stray cat,We eventually kept the cats and they had tons of kittens,Could this be part of the reason or is it just normal for cats?

Your cat does not have vitiligo. Her markings are considered a Tortoishell. Similar to calico, except the colors are more blended.

Most cats have "eyebrow whiskers" and some, especially Maine Coon mixes, have some tufts on their ears rather like the Lynx does.  Your tortie is very beautiful with the half orange and half black face.

Yes, she is perfectly normal. I would love to see some pictures of her that show her whole body. I love her little sweet face.

She is a beautiful tortie! How old is she?? Let me guess- she has a whole lot of spunk and sass? Torties are fantastic. I adore them.

She is very pretty, and as others have said, she has perfectly normal markings and whiskers.

Are all of your cats spayed and neutered now?  We would be happy to help find a low cost clinic in your neighborhood!
