Often referred to as "Mother Nature's Idea of Abstract Art." ...

* Torties (tortoiseshell), Torbies (underlying tabby pattern), and Calicos (tricolour) are very interesting! They tend to have what the cat fancy calls Tortie-tude. More than any other color, these girls have an "opinion" on everything. They will tell you exactly what that opinion is! At the same time, they can be one of the sweetest cats you will ever own. Only Females come in these colors ... see FAQ page to find out why?

* Our Red Tabbies are well known for their vibrant and intense red body coloring and lighter contrasting paws (and bright white contrasting paws in the bi-colored variety).

* Red /Orange Cats Study: In a University of California Study, Berkeley, researcher surveyed 189 people with experience of cats as pets and found that they were more likely to assign positive personality traits to red/orange cats. Red/Orange cats were most often characterized as friendly. Red/Orange cats are usually male, with females existing at a ratio of 1 out of every 5 red/orange cats and are therefore considered rare.
