Dot wants to be in on this, especially as she has no "tortietude" (she says!).  She does have some white but she says it's all nice and neat and in the right place.

Oh Indys mama....Mabel is so pretty! her eyes are such a lovely blue! is that unusual?

I don't really know how unusual it is, but there are loads of back street Siamese and Ragdoll breeders around here so she could have inherited them fairly easy, most mogs from town look slightly oriental/siamese and Indy looks very old style siamese in shape...

Either way I love her eyes, they are almost violet in sunlight :)

her eyes are beautiful  :Luv2:

I have to say once you are Tortied there is no way back

We always said no to Torties as Sweetie the Clan leader hated the one who lived next door and did some serious damage - she was a lot younger then!

The somehow we ended up with Amber and Sailor a feral duo we rehomed - one Tortie and one ginger and white then came Xian and her sisters so we had a brindle feral tortie, then came Miss gracie our longhaired tortie then finally Miss Gem and her brindle baby Beijing

I can honestly say there will always be a Tortie of some colour in the Clan they are just so Tortie!!!!! ;D
