Hello! Hope you don't mind me resurrecting this thread. I've just posted on the newbies thread and got directed by Dawn and her lovely Amber to look at other torties because i've never had one before. I have to admit total ignorance in not previously knowing how many types there are, that torties are usually female and if male are sterile and the whole 'naughty tortie' issues which we are discovering on a daily basis LOL!

This is Atti (Atticus Bast).  She was born in a barn to a semi-feral barn cat mum.  I've only seen her sister, Tiddles who went to my riding instructor and Tiddles is darker, less fawn and ginger and no cute stripe down her nose. Still a lovely cat though!  We think they were born in August, so they're about 7 months now.  Enjoy ;)

Oh my! That really is rather spooky. Isn't Smooch a babe  :Luv2: Its so odd when you see a cat that looks like yours. You're so used to seeing them in your own home and then there they are in someone elses! Its a very odd feeling, lol! Give Smooch a cuddle from me.

Your Marmite looks just like my Daisy in that first pic, Smeagol :)

I find it really odd to see a cat that looks just like one of mine. It happened on another forum recently, it was Squid the 'torbie' and I always though she was pretty distinct and of of very special! She is still very special but has a twin!

Squid that lives with my Mother. She is still my baby as I raised her from three days old because her mother was run over. We decided it wasn't fair to move her from Mum's because she is older now and is quite shy so we didn't think she would deal very well with the move. I only live a few miles away though so we get regular cuddles  :Luv:

Aww torbies are gorgeous! I love sunshine's spotty tum :Luv: Maddie is so pretty! Am I right in saying she would be a calico?

Yes she is a calico and she is beautiful isn't she.She came home with me one day from work 'by accident' as she was in a dreadful state and not being looked after by her owners.Skinny,half bald and covered in scabs she was.Now she's a portly little strop bucket  :rofl:

You wouldn't believe Sunshine is the same cat that I picked up from an Estate where the kids had been tying string round her neck and dragging her down the road. Her poor tail was red raw - just raw flesh at the end so she had to have part of it removed. It might have been frostbite as the kids kept putting her in the freezer. The caring mum got sick of taking her out of the freezer so "threw it (sunshine) out"  >:( - anyway, Sally another CP volunteer fell in love with her and dotes on her - I think her rotten past is forgotten  :Luv2:

Yes Sunset said she's definately a girl and not a very rare tortie boy lol. I think it's just where her markings are that make it look like she's got bumps lol. It's a shame she's got her front leg where she has so you can't see her delightfully spotty tummy. She is Miss Boopy in minature personality wise.

Poor Sunrise Sunset is the kitten I thought was a silver tabby boy for the first few days until the tiny red bit on her head became clear as that's the only red on her unlike Sunset who has lovely cream bits all over her and those 2 lovely cream toes.

The good thing about the colour of Miss Boopy and Alfie means that unless we have some weird quirk and get a tortie boy all the torties are girls and any non torties are boys so I don't have to spend ages looking at them trying to work out sexes  :evillaugh:

They were 4.5 weeks old in the pics (they are 5 weeks old now). The little boy in my avatar is their litter brother and they are half sisters to the gorgeous Poppy (LittleKitten) on here  :Luv2: :Luv2:
