Tortoiseshells or Calico Cats

Meet Jenna a young tortoiseshell that belongs to the small exceptional subgroup of good natured cats. These cats are usually grumpy and Vets are scared of them.

We talk from experience, our own tortie Annie – that lived up to 22 and went to heaven last year – was a power to be reckoned with and only mellowed after 17. Very few teeth left helped with the ease of handling but she would still bite, albeit without hurting too much.

She was the dominant cat and made sure Tessie and Brooky , our other two cats,  followed her rules.

Here she is in better days.
