    My Samantha was a Blue Torbie and in my opinion Breathtakenly Beautiful, I feel blessed to have been her human.
    She was grace and joy personified.

    Nothing nicer than a Tortie... I have many and I would never be with out one!!

    Basically its all in the genetics, you can get male torties but they are rare due to having an extra chromosone (ie it has XXY instead of XY) Pllus any male tortie will be sterile, so if you do get one it would be for a pet only.

    She is indeed Debbie, 195g at last nights weigh-in.

    Buffy is a fantastic 1st time mum, she's so attentive. The kitten only has to squeak and she's there making sure everything is alright...bless her.

    She looked absolutely stunning, beautiful colours. If Gypsy turns out half as beautiful as that I will be over the moon!

    This is mum when she was 9 weeks old, it was the Blaze on her forehead that clinched it for us and we decided to keep her.
