Hello
guys…
Let
me introduce to you guys to my beloved cat. KOKO. She was so adorable and
playful. She is a tortoiseshell cat. What is a tortoiseshell cat?
Tortoiseshell
cats are unique felines with brilliant color patterns, unique personalities,
and a rich history. They are known as Tortie cats or simply Torties which are
named after the Colorful Tortoise Shell material. However, they are known by
many names in different countries. For example, tabby-patterned Torties are
called Torbies. The term Calico refers to Torties
with white markings in the US and Canada. And sometimes they’re also called
simply Tricolor
Cats. But as
long as you use the universal term Tortie, you can never go wrong. These
kitties can come in some pretty crazy colors. Cream, white, chocolate, ginger,
fawn, lilac, black, red… the list goes on and on! The asymmetrical markings of
the tortoiseshell patterns can also be diluted.
In
other words, Torties vary in terms of their physical appearances. In fact, KOKO
have 4 colors, black, white, orange and chocolate. And that’s yet another
reason as to why they’re so fascinating and beautiful.
Actually,
my husband found KOKO at one of the coffee shop near our house. She trying to
cross the road. OMG! Thank God, she’s safe and we can adopt her. I think many
tortie lovers may notice that tortoiseshell cats tend to have a bit of Catitude.
So
many tortoiseshell humans have experience this sass and have even given it its
own name Tortitude.
They have a higher tendency than a lot
of other cats to scratch, bite and show other aggressive action, whether
provoked or not. They can be a little friskier and feistier and also known as highly energetic
kitties. I notice this ‘tortitude’ behavior in KOKO. She likes to bite me and
chase me to play with her. OMG! I’ve been pet many cats but this is all in. She
has all ‘tortitude’. I can describe her as stubborn and strong-willed type of
cat. So demanding in terms of foods but we can’t help but love her anyway.
Guess
what? Some people think Tortoiseshell cats are lucky! In traditional folklore,
the tortoiseshell cat was said to bring Good Luck. For this reason, the cats are
sometimes called “money cats” in the United States. Not only are torties
considered good luck charms, but they may just ward off ghosts and evil
spirits, according to Japanese culture. In Scotland and Ireland, it’s seen as
good luck when a tortie comes into your home. An old English wife’s tale says
you can cure warts by rubbing them with a male tortie’s tail. Obviously, these cats were treated as
something more superior than a mere domestic pet.
This is my 1st picture at home |
Anyway, whatever type of cat you have, show your pet the love and devotion in deserves and it will cherish you for the rest of your lifetime. Cats have unique ways of showing us just how much they hold their pet parents dear. If you can prove to your fluffy companion that you truly care about it, you’ll have a lifelong trusty and affectionate furry pal that’s eagerly waiting for you to come back home.
Love
you KOKO!
Don’t
mess with KOKO, OK!
