Hi,

I am very interested to buy a scotish fold kitten. I have been told that there is one in a pet shop that are quite far away from my home. The kitten is in Tortoises colour. As the shop is very far away from my home, I wish to see a pic of a scottish fold kitten of tortoise colour so that I can make the decision whether should I visit the shop personally or not. Can anyone of you help me? Is the tortoise colour similar to himalayan colour?

Thanks.

Garfy mum

I can't find photos but the CFA describes tortoiseshell color (of Scottish fold) as quote: TORTOISESHELL: black with unbrindled patches of red and cream. Patches clearly defined and well broken on both body and extremities. Blaze of red or cream on face is desirable. Eye color: brilliant copper.

I can offer you a picture of a tortoise colored cat that isn't a scottish fold
It's said that Torties are spunky.

lol I suppose just imagine this with their ears mushed down, as she's just a Plain old housecat, no breed.

I think they're lovely.


This is my Paige's Face


And that's her giving my Gibby a bath.






And these are just Paige being cute.

now also, the kitty may be more red or black or have larger patches.. the tortie pattern is hard to guess at.

Hi!
Just to give an idea about how Tortie patterns can differ like Turtlecat said, look at Tango's back

She has larger patchesof orange and black. Don't mind the white on her, if the torties you are thinking about are full Tortoiseshell color they won't have the white
