straight tortoiseshells are torties....a torbie is a tortoiseshell/tabby mix (random stripelets here and there, like on her head)

Like torties, most male torbies don't live, so they're almost all female. Surviving males are usually sterile.

She looks like a sweetie. Torbies just have their own bizarre outlook on life.

huh, weird.

yeah, alyssa explained that it's (well tortoise shell) a female only thing because whatever causes it is on the second x chromosome. so if'n males are born that way, they've got an extra x and are as you mentioned sterile.

and she's definitely an attention hog. i think she hears the stroking of hands on cat fur, because if you pet one of the kittens and she's on the other end of the house, she'll run over and start rubbing on you, as if to say "don't forget me!"

Oh, they're very jealous. If I pet one of the other cats, Pepper comes running and we say, "Here comes Little Miss Jealous."

Haha, we generally go "aw fuck y'all, pet me muhfuckas!"

What about the winged cats?

Someone told me
Its all happening at the zoo.

I do believe it,
I do believe its true.

Its a light and tumble journey
From the east side to the park;
Just a fine and fancy ramble
To the zoo.

But you can take the crosstown bus
If its raining or its cold,
And the animals will love it
If you do.

Somethin tells me
Its all happening at the zoo.

The monkeys stand for honesty,
Giraffes are insincere,
And the elephants are kindly but
Theyre dumb.
Orangutans are skeptical
Of changes in their cages,
And the zookeeper is very fond of rum.

Zebras are reactionaries,
Antelopes are missionaries,
Pigeons plot in secrecy,
And hamsters turn on frequently.
What a gas! you gotta come and see
At the zoo.

I went to a pet "boutique" today where they had an in-house chihuahua who was roaming the store and who sat out on the main mall's walkway in front of it.

I couldn't ever do that. If that were my dog, I would be freaked the hell out worrying about someone picking it up and sticking it under their coat, or something. Chihuahuas are so tiny :(

My newest addition.

I was out in the woods looking for some cranberries, I came across this creature:

:rolleyes

i take that as an invitation....here is my late dog, she died like a month ago.....she kinda looks like Bruce Campbell

Cute doogie, but maybe you shouldn't have let it chew on anything that says made in china.

yeah not funny dude.

That wasn't meant to be funny dip shit, what are you an asspie? You don't seem too bright.

Whatever, go ahead and not pay attention to what your pets have in their mouth. Fuck if I care about you.

Have you turned into a pet nutritionist now? For all we know, all the known periodic table elements that make up the paint on that product could be nutritious ^.^
