What Am I? Tortie or Not?
I think I'm having an identity crisis, and, at 15, I should be too old for such a thing. I always thought that I had an unusual colored fur coat - mostly gray with some tan mixed in and areas of white (like my chest and tummy). Just once I heard one of the technicians at my vet's office call me a "calico," but no one else ever called me that. Mom always thought that calicos were more patched in color. Well, a while back, cute Little Cat Zee said that I was a "dilute tortie!" I was SOMETHING and belonging to the torties was a cool thing for me. But then I read somewhere on the internet that torties are not supposed to have white on them. Well, that blows that, since I have LOTS of white. I think the torties have accepted me since I'm even on the tortie page of the blogger calendar, but I don't want to be a poseur or something. What do you think?~Bathsheba

Maybe you're what is known as a "tortie and white" - I think I've heard that term before somewhere.
Oh Bathsheba...yer a tortie in my book! -Sinceralie, yer Tortie friend, Rosie
Bathsheba- Yoo can be anything yoo wanna be because yoo are one purty lady!! -Cheeto
Lux, Mom did a little internet research and there's also a calico and white. I like your term and am going to go with "tortie and white."
Oh, Rosie and Cheeto, you're always so supportive!
I love all three of you!

Bathsheba, I thought you WERE a Tortie. No one has ever thought KC was anything but TORTIE (capital letters intended) and she has some white fur on her. Not much, but there it is.
Again, personality wise, I thought you were pure 100% tortie, with that tough a*s tortitude.
