Holly and Ivy asked me to write a limerick about Tortoiseshell Cats. Tortoiseshell Cats are a color variation in the American Shorthair, or Domestic Shorthair. Their basic coat color is black and they have patches of red, cream, brown and orange scattered over their bodies. Dilute Tortoiseshell cats are also quite common. Not all Torties will have all the colors, but at least black and two other colors are what makes a cat a Tortie. There are lots of Torties in the Cat Blogosphere and they are all different. One thing that I have noticed is that Torties have quite an attitude and they can be really tough. You can find lots of references to Tortitude and Tough A** Torties.
Tortoiseshell Cats have lots of attitude.
Character they have in plentitude.
They're tough and smart.
They'll steal your heart
With their cunning ways and Tortitude.

Fabulous limerick about Torties! :) The tortoiseshell colour does occur in other breeds too, and they are always female. :) The occasional male tortie is born, but he will always be sterile.
Your limerick is very true. Mommy loves tortie kitties and Holly and Ivy are wonderful!
Torties rock! (Mommy Bean mades me say that.)
The torties I's seen have always been polite to mes. Perhaps cuz I don'ts live with them?
that's probably the first limerick i've ever read that used both the words "plentitude" and "Tortitude." Good job.
That's very true they are extremely smart, lol ! I see that now with Lisa who has to take a pill everyday and in whatever we put it she spills it out !
Rosie has her first birthday today !
