Its about time this topic was written about! As human to two tortitude filled kitties I I love that whimsical, quirky "twist" that both my cats have.

Stereotypes exist because a certain number of people/animals etc, possess characteristics (usually a large number but not always). I did quote Ingrid above where she states that obviously not ALL torties are like what is written and here is part of the quote again " All cats are individuals, and torties are no different in that respect, with the possible exception that they are far more demonstrative of their unique personalities than cats of other colors."

She said nobody messed with her, not even the vet's labrador who came with him when he came to see a horse. He bounded over and nudged her and bowled her over playing too boisterously. She flew at him and attached herself to his head! The dog howled and jumped back in the car and whenever they came out again, the dog would cower in the back. He learned to not mess with a tortie!!Memories of Eric and Flynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07895995542393169845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5182681216854437149.post-13975262524622049202016-01-25T15:17:22.697-05:002016-01-25T15:17:22.697-05:00lovely cats!lovely cats!Kathe W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06781645436343424010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5182681216854437149.post-11347702328256063182016-01-25T14:55:27.265-05:002016-01-25T14:55:27.265-05:00thank you!!!thank you!!!Cat and DOG Chat With Carenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02666719374831725417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5182681216854437149.post-83730972333946505072016-01-25T14:07:16.744-05:002016-01-25T14:07:16.744-05:00What a great review, and what a pawsome giveaway !...What a great review, and what a pawsome giveaway !
