The wonderful picture Liz posted of her beautiful SiSi, it made me realize that we have threads for just about every cat color permutation, but I had yet to see one dedicated to the beautiful, underrated tortie!
I'll kick it off with my girl Abbie. When I first moved to Chicago, I had little money & no furniture. It was me, a blanket, and a B/W TV. When I found out I passed my nursing boards, I didn't go out and buy furniture or a color TV. I got Abbie. Nineteen years later, she's still with me.
Here are her baby pics:
a little older:
for a couple of years I had a roommate who had her own cat. Poor Emily. Abbie was a young cat, and Emily a senior. This was the only type of interaction they had for two solid years:
Now she's a senior citizen herself. Her health is failing, and I see her lose a little ground every day. I felt the need to start this thread before I only had sad news to share. Here is a pic from a few months ago:
Now, calling all torties!!!! Let's see these beauties!!!
