Cat Forum / Health and Behavior / November 2005tortoiseshell cat
This is my first time here. I have a tortoiseshell 6 mo old who is over the top rambunctious. She chases anything, everything and nothing. Our other cat is so docile and makes us wonder if Patches is psycho? Any help out there? > This is my first time here. I have a tortoiseshell 6 mo old who is > over the top rambunctious.

Enjoy it while it lasts, in a few months she'll start settling down. > > This is my first time here. I have a tortoiseshell 6 mo old who is > > over the top rambunctious.

Nope, tortoiseshells don't *ever* settle down. Mine is 6 years old and still plays like a kitten. My vet says they have a terrible reputation! ;> Hugs, CatNipped Yes, the other poster was correct. I call my 5 month old kitten (not a tortoiseshell) "whacko jacko." This is what kittens do. Gail > This is my first time here. I have a tortoiseshell 6 mo old who is over > the > top rambunctious.

Any help out > there? You've reminded me why I am so fond of old cats. :-) Enjoy it (if you can). It might get a little worse before it gets better -- teenage cats can be a pain, too. But like 5cats said, she *will* settle down. I have a tortoise calico who is the calm, even "polite". Coat color has nothing to do with it.

Her little quirks are that she likes to be petted with feet, and she is a thief. Her current thing is to make off with the babies' pacifiers. (Yes, I sterilize them after this) Depending on how far she gets with them, she gets to keep them :) Her "stash" is in the basement behind an old dresser. >I have a very sweet tortie too.

Sound like my tortie Kitty who is about 12 / 13 years old. My babies: http://members.aol.com/larrystark/ http://members.aol.com/larrystark/strays.htm > I have a very sweet tortie too.

Hi Kelly! :-) Nice to see you dropping in! Your tortie sounds just like mine. She is dainty and affectionate with us too, but really timid with strangers. That's cute that she's stealing pacificers. I bet you keep a stash of new ones around! ("plugs" are NOT something you want to run out of in the middle of the night) Sherry > Hi Kelly! :-) Nice to see you dropping in! > Your tortie sounds just like mine.

My baby Bea, the one that really likes pacifiers, just this week decided she likes her thumb better. Fine by me, I don't have to get up and put it back in :) -Kelly > > You've reminded me why I am so fond of old cats. :-) > > Enjoy it (if you can).

Mimi is a theif/hoarder as well - started when she was a kitten. It's hilarious to see her steal something and then head off to her hide-away to stash it. Here's pic of here when she was younger - I really need to get some new shots of the kids. http://groups.msn.com/idontmindsCompanionAnimalConnection/shoebox.msnw?action=Sh owPhoto&PhotoID=6 -L. > This is my first time here.

Any help out > there? My cats are 6 years old and still over the top rambunctious. It's good for cats to be active, especially if they're indoors only cats. Have you got a nice cat tree for her yet?

Our other > cat is so docile and makes us wonder if Patches is psycho? Any help out > there? No, she's Tortie: The Snickers Cat - half sweet, half nuts. :) -L. OMG, we have a tortie named "Snickers!" I had no idea. Yes, she does fit that description, but we didn't know it at the time. Rhonda > No, she's Tortie: The Snickers Cat - half sweet, half nuts. :) Nope, tortoiseshells don't *ever* settle down. Mine is 6 years old and still plays like a kitten. My vet says they have a terrible reputation! ;> A Tabby and a tortoiseshell here, Mozz the Tabby about 5, a gentleman,,, if your not smaller than him, then he will eat you, if he has the chance. Tilly the tortoiseshell,,, is a kitten, about 4 or 5 human years old, but still a kitten! Daft as a brush.. > > No, she's Tortie: The Snickers Cat - half sweet, half nuts. :) > > -L. Snickers Cat, I like that! :) I gotta say my little tortie is definitely a sweetheart, but can be nuts for sure. Lauren > > > No, she's Tortie: The Snickers Cat - half sweet, half nuts. :) > > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > Lauren It's a phrase I stole from my friend, but I think it's cute, and it fits all the torties I have known! -L. |
