Problems with Tortoiseshell cats? email this discussion to a friend?

I was wondering if anyone has had similar experiences with tortoiseshell cats as I have. My cat is the cutest and most sociable kitty I have ever had, but she has also managed to be the most troublesome. When I first brought my kitty home from the animal shelter, despite putting her in a safe room, she managed to fracture her leg and electrocute herself in one evening. Please note the electrical cord was hooked up very tight and secure. Thankfully she was fine after some rest, but the vet's comment was "she is a typical tortoiseshell." Now that she is older, she still finds ways to get into trouble, such as chewing through a pair of headphones, stealing objects off tables and losing them forever. This is my first tortoiseshell I have had, so I wanted to know if anyone else had some funny stories about their multi colored kitties!

I don't think the color has anything to do with this cat's problems, she sounds bored and frustrated. You are just going to have to put dangerous things away from her. Good Luck

we call it a "torti-tude" because every torti or calico we've ever had has been all attitude!

Mine is terrible for getting herself into trouble, we were actually discussing this with a neighbour the other day, she has a tortie too, and has had others in the past. She says they are all trouble, its just the way they are. The first cat I owned was a tortoiseshell too. She got lost under the floorboards when we had workmen in, and also once found her way into the chimney and emerged looking like a black cat lol
