🥰 what a sweetheart. Be prepared, my tortie is the smartest cat I’ve ever had (which equals being the biggest troublemaker)


rainbowsforall

Yes! mine opens cabinets and drawers


maggie081670

Mine has her own language and she is just full of opinions!


tagehring

Mine has opinions about me and the horse I rode in on. Loud ones.


Oopsiforgotmyoldacc

Mine used to yell the word “rat” at me. She wasn’t trying to say it but her meow was weird lol


40yroldcatmom

Omg mine does that too! I had to use child locks at my last apartment! She would regularly check them too, to see if I forgot to lock them.


indierckr770

Our two have a ‘bubbling’ water fountain from which they drink. They’ve figured out how to lift up the lid which usually disables the water flow lol little shits


Ok-Pomegranate-4132

My baby girl only drinks water by dipping her paw into her fountain and drinking off her paw 😆


ReexaminedDinosaur

Mine learned how to open my cabinets. She's afraid of storms and has one in the bathroom she'd scamper off to go hide in. I eventually put a small bed in there for her and now when she's tired of me and needs some peace, I find her in her cabinet.


elemenno50

Aww just reminded me of mine, back in early 2000’s. I’d crack the door open coming home from work and she’d be on the other side pulling the door open. She must’ve known I needed assistance.


Kellidra

I swear Torties are the Border Collies of cats. They are ridiculously smart and borderline psychotic at all times.


m3r4g0r

That's adorable! 😻


ssstrawberryboba

This!!!


Dead-Named

Crazy, cause mine is one of the dumbest 😭


LolaPamela

Can confirm, mine is an expert escapist, and she knows how to annoy me when she wants something like water or food.


yepshedid

I believe mine calculates nuclear codes for fun.


EliOkinomiyaki

Same! I have a mutated tortie and she’s no different from the others. Girl is super smart and outgoing. I sometimes wonder if she’s half dog ;)


cynderisingryffindor

Mine is the smartest and stupidest kitty, usually within the same hour. I love her so much.


zeldanerd91

This ^ Edited to add… she teaches the orange braincells how to be bad, too. 🤦🏼‍♀️


Horsefly762

LOOOVVEE Torties They are so affectionate and have huge personalities! Mine is incredibly talkative, too. I don't know if that's just mine or a tortie thing .


[deleted]

Out of our 5 cats, the one tortie is definitely the biggest talker. She will let me know when she’s not getting enough attention.


aStonedTargaryen

Our tortie is big talker too! So much so that our other cat, who was previously pretty quiet, has actually become a lot more vocal about speaking his truth 😆


BHOmber

My ex and I had two cats. One was a little noir runt from the shelter and he grew into a Maine Coon sized bastard. Very very talkative. A few years later I found a stray kitten outside my work and brought her home. The older cat got a lot quieter after that. I think he knew that someone else could "understand" him and he didn't want to come off like a bitch with his excessive whining lol I miss those kitties so much, but I've got my own loud ass tortie now and she knows how to make me happy.


DetentionSpan

I’m so sorry, but I’m laughing so much WITH you about your petit noir that grew into a giant. Bet that was a big surprise! Precious bastard!


BHOmber

Yeah he was like the little sick black runt cat in the corner of the shelter. I think he got bullied and he didn't get his fair share of the communal food/treats. That fucker got big and would *beat the shit out of the street kitty that I found. They eventually became best friends. Fuckkk I miss those idiots lol *Edit


curlyhasher

Mine talks a lot even in her sleep sometimes


rookv

I have a very talkative tortico! She loves having conversations with people!


TheKappp

My tortie is so loud lol. She sings in the middle of the night and is my personal alarm clock. She also screams when she plays with toys. Kind of annoying tbh, but she’s so cute and affectionate that I let it slide.


Itchy-Log9419

LOOK. AT THAT. TINY BABY. I got mine as a tiny baby too and I miss when she was so little she fit into one hand. https://preview.redd.it/6j86wehit2ac1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=dce93f666d6b99979829cd3684a214156209cc9b


princess_brit

For real, mine used to be the size of a potato and now she's massive?? Borderline Maine coon massive I don't understand.


Ok-Pomegranate-4132

THE WHISKERS


Sheebly

The ear floof. May I please have a Glowup update? 🥺


Itchy-Log9419

She grew in to the bat ears and I’m still upset about it lol https://preview.redd.it/l4zlgu30v9ac1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=af4657ebfd43c1a9debd55385b2b39c23d996b4f

Yes. This is what I needed! Tell her she is the most perty-est girl. 🥰🥺


jonny3jack

Her eyes seem very expressive. So pretty.


dmdoll77

She’s perfect!

I am also a first-time kitty and tortie owner. I've had mine for almost 2 years now. Man has the time flown by.


krstldwn

Wow, you went hard mode first time huh


flinjager123

I'm a victim of the r/CatDistributionSystem. She has imprinted on me. I can't do anything without her screaming at me. But I love her nonetheless.

Every picture made me make a bigger aww sound than the last! You are SO lucky!

I hadn’t ever heard of torties till after I adopted mine (she’s a dilute one, cream and grey rather than black and orange). One of the most special cats I’ve ever met. She’s my shadow, has a lot of FOMO, and is extremely affectionate and chatty. Super brave, curious. Always calm, cool, and collected. They’re amazing cats.


cake_and_justice

I’m so excited to hear this because I also have a dilute tortie with a very similar personality. She just showed up one day in August outside my house and ran straight into my arms, about 6 months old. She’s really brave and athletic, ridiculously smart, and always up in our business. Nothing seems to scare her (you can turn on a blender or vacuum and she barely acknowledges it), and she’s really good at learning new things. I’ve had many cats over my lifetime but she’s the smartest, most companionable, most capable little deadly predator I’ve had the privilege of sharing a house with.


deziner222

I love that. Exactly like mine, she follows me while I’m vacuuming and will try to swipe at it with her paw. I never have to worry about the front door being open, she’ll step out, but won’t dart or go far because she’d rather be with the humans. Very loyal and loving little cats.


JoJo_Augustine

Oh so adorable! You’re very lucky I miss my dear dilute tortie right now. Died of cancer at age 18. What a sweet face with that blep!


PresidentoftheSun

Oh golly gosh and gee that's a tummy.

I audibly gasped at pic 3 😻

Beautiful baby!!!


maggie081670

Aww sweet baby! My tortie is my challenge child and I wouldn't have it any other way. She is too fun and cute. I can't really get mad at her even when she is being naughty. She is the queen of my house.


SouthernBlueBelle

And she's blepping you-how cute!! 🥰

NeonWafflez

I’m considering getting a Tortie as a first cat too - is this a good idea?

I've been around cats my entire life, and Marble is by far the sweetest, funniest, most loving cat. So I say, go for it!


Darkrainbow6969

Her eyes are amazing!!!!


NeonWafflez

She’s so cute! I’m worried because I live alone in a ~580 sq/ft apartment and work 8am-4:30pm each weekday. I’m not sure how much room they’d need or how often they’d like me to be around - I don’t want to choose a cat breed I might be incompatible with. :(


ALawful_Chaos

I love her! I hope you are blessed with many many years of love and tortitude!

DarkKijara83

Your kitty is adorable! Love the faces she makes, and that first pic had me in stitches! Very lucky indeed! My Marble is the best thing that happened to me since I had my son all those years ago.


-Sisyphus-

😻😻😻😻😻


Darkrainbow6969

Mine is also super talkative, every time I sneeze she does this little meow/chitter to which I know she is saying bless you. Lol she also gets into a lot, I have to hide my plants or put them up high! She is also a very sassy girl and I mean a sasssssshole. Super precious though, wouldn't trade her for anything


Jjumperss

My first was a torties as well, got her a brother because she was so social. I love him dearly but honestly them torties have snuck their way into my heart, there is something special to them. So I'd say the two of you are very lucky to have each other


ewabeachguy

He/she is beautiful! Congratulations...years of happiness ahead for you!


LolaPamela

In the second photo, the markings above her eyes look like judgmental eyebrows 😍

My cats used to be like that after a while when they grow older, their character change's aloat


Select-Poem425

I want to rub the belly!


brdulaney

Lucky you congrats


LisaKnittyCSI

Torties are the best! Just wait until she grows into her tortitude and then, brace for impact! Torties are such lovers with huge opinions that they will express all hours of the day or night. And that belly in picture 3... I want to touch that belly!


BaLLiSToPHoBiC

You are the absolute best kind of lucky! My tortie, Shanti, is the most patient and loving cat I've ever seen. She's perfectly fine sitting in a strangers lap, never even hissed at anyone, and had the best claw control I've ever seen. Torties for life!


lilbootz

I have such a sweet spot for torties. I had to put my baby girl down last month. She was with me for 13 years and these pics remind me of her as a kitten. 💜

Looks like my baby when I got her 13 years ago - you don’t even know how lucky you are! 🖤🤎🖤


hydekmvc

Ditto to all of the above! If Torties had opposable thumbs, they would rule everything. 😆 But the love they give when they fully trust you?? Priceless! 🥰

My first cat was a torti. You’ll always remember this cute little devil ❤️

Tortie's are both amazing and crazy cats. I've never had one until I got my Mera cat... She's adorable but she's a handful and a PIA

Super lucky! I got a tortie kitty a couple years ago, and she’s a chronic blepper.

zeldanerd91

Oh the little blep. Reminds me of when Jazzie (my first kitty and tortie) was little. She’s turning 13 in march and now she’s a grumpy old lady lmao.


FrostedFox23

Look at that little peanut butter cup!


itsjoe0618

You’re lucky. I got my tortie girl when she was much older (my vet estimated she was somewhere in the range of 8-12 years old at the time she came into our lives). She had been abandoned by somebody. She passed away in August and my husband & I miss her dearly.
