Torties are great, loyal cats--they can have a bit of an attitude though. :) Here's my little tortie girl: http://i.imgur.com/ilSqNl.jpg http://i.imgur.com/ilS

  Our tortie of 14 years passed away last year. They can be really unique cats. She really only bonded with my wife and me. To everyone else, she was a sassy ball of attitude; but alone, she was the sweetest cat. No one believed us when we told them how affectionate she was. That cat helped keep me sane through some crappy times. I miss that cat.

  Beautiful cat. I have a dilute calico female that is very sweet, but only to me and my wife. I think this might be more indicative of female cats in general. I find more than 1 female in a home is typically a problem, whereas multiple (neutered) males tend to get along better. If I remember correctly, with the exception of genetic anomalies, calicos/tortoise shells are always female and orange tabbies always being male. The other interesting thing I read was that the more white on a calico, the larger the individual color 'splotches'. A calico with no white will have the black and red mixed all over (like your cat).
