Yeah I don’t think they need to have a black base to be a tortie, as far as I know. I never had pets growing up and these are my first two fur babies, so I’m not an expert.

But they definitely seem to have a unique temperament compared to other cats I have met. At least this one, lol.

Yeah they are both getting close to the double digit mark. Henry is a year older and is definitely in his old cat phase of just wanting to sit in the tower all day, only coming down for meals or belly rubs. He is way more friendly to strangers too.

There is definitely something about them! I didn’t even know what a tortie was til we took her to the vet the first time. I just thought she looked real cute at the humane society.

Sorry the picture got cropped so much and doesn’t show up on the post … Not sure how to fix that.
