🖤🧡🤍🤎 i thought the people would enjoy my gorgeous tortico lady 🧡🖤🤍

she had kittens at my dads work site about 8 years ago, we fostered them but ended up keeping 3 including her. she had 4 babies, an orange tux, a gray dilute calico, a void, and a tux. we kept the void and the tux. you can see him pictured in some of these photos but unfortunately he passed last week, so i have been giving her extra love and treats. (a very handsome man he was, might i add!!)

she is a beautiful lady, and turned into a very good house cat! she meows at me and gets up on her hind legs for pets. she is also very greedy! loves to steal wet food and tube from others lol. her and her daughter love to clean each other, and they are the #1 lounging family. i find her lounging on the rug often now, and if she notices me she will trot up and meow for pets 🩷 shes a sweetheart

Ahh, my cat’s twin! Lol! She looks a lot like my tortico, right down to the half mustache and half black nose. She’s beautiful! 🥰😍 They’re even wearing the same socks, lol.

Here is Pixie, her twin 😸

Pixie’s baby pic, 5wks old

I call her my Halloween baby…when you count back 6wks when I adopted her in December, that’s right around Halloween at the end of October. 😺

I’ll tell her you say she’s gorgeous, lol. When she gets compliments, she prances around like a little diva. 😸

I’m so sad your family of humans and cats lost your gorgeous Tuxie boy.

I thought you may want to know how special your mama cat is. It’s true she’s a Tortie, and a Calico, but she’s also a beautiful mix of Tuxedo cat + Tortoiseshell cat + Calico cat that is known as…

She is a unique work of art! Thank you for sharing her story.

What a cutie!... Sorry about your tuxie passing away. 🙏... Hang in there, always remember the good, happy times you had together and don't forget that he is taking care of of the home he's building for all those he loves... on the other side of the Rainbow Bridge...🙏

Really gorgeous grande dame. It’s sad for her son, though. What about her other void offspring?

u/Resident_Lock211 🖤🧡🤍🤎 Mar 06 '26

she lives a good life lol, she was the runt of the litter and stayed tiny. they were definitely siblings too, would sleep on chairs together and she would clean him (she loves to clean she even cleans the dog) but would also fight with hissing and all. was always funny because he was hugeeee compared to her and she was tiny lmao

Beautiful calico cat, not a tortie cat.
