Sassiest Instances Of Tortoiseshell Cats Fully Embracing Their Tortitude And Letting Their Humans Have It

Hey, friends. Tortie cats have a very special place in our hearts, and that's why we take the time to feature them as their own individual entity every so often. Our Editorial Lead, Kalila, always talks about the tortie cat she grew up with. Her name was Nala and she was sweet, affectionate, yet brimming with sass for anyone who didn't treat her like the royalty she knew she was. Her presence and attitude left a lasting impression, what we now affectionately dub 'tortitude.'

Tortoiseshell cats aren't tied to a particular breed; their name comes from their striking, multi-colored fur patterns. Intriguingly, torties are predominantly female, adding to their reputation as the feistiest members of the feline clan. As females ourselves, we can relate. Despite their spirited nature and ample "tortitude," they're also fiercely loyal, playful, and endlessly fascinating companions. Dive into the world of fellow tortie aficionados and their captivating feline friends! You'll quickly discover why torties are truly incomparable.
