Tortie newbie

[unseeliechylde]

I think I know what you mean! Skye (my tortie girl) definately shows a certain resilience - my older boy Riley can be quite rough with her, but she is so confident and seems totally unflappable - nothing bothers her at all! She's not backward in coming forward when it comes to wanting cuddles, attention, playtime, food...everything! She already has Riley wrapped around her paw and in no doubt as to who is really the boss! lol

Torties seem to have a thing called tortitude along with being a bit naughty tortie 

My tortie definately has tortitude and is very special but untouchable

  That wouldn't surprise me! Mind you, aren't all 5 month kittens a bit naughty? I guess I was just curious - I know that orientals are renowned for a particular temperament, as are ragdolls etc., but I had never heard of non-purebreed cat types having specific character traits until I cam across this mention of the "tortie temperament"  
Thankfully, my little girl is also a real sweetie, so even if she does become really cheeky or naughty, I'd end up letting her get away with it anyway! lol

I've found out that she is a "Dilute Tortoiseshell" DSH  However, lots of sites mention the "tortie temperament", without detailing what it actually is! Any experienced tortie owners out there who can shed some light?

My Elsa, who died recently age 20, was a dilute tortie - she definitely had attitude - a real 'naughty tortie'

I've got a tortie, she is adorable - I think they are just called naughty torties because it rhymes!

I've recently adopted a beautiful, affectionate, and very confident little 5 month kitten After doing a bit of research, I've found out that she is a "Dilute Tortoiseshell" DSH  However, lots of sites mention the "tortie temperament", without detailing what it actually is! Any experienced tortie owners out there who can shed some light?
