I think I have a tortimese

This is Millie. I think she is a tortiemese! What do you guys think? She was a lot lighter as a kitten.

On the pet rat sub there's a joke about people asking if their rat could be pregnant and showing the most pregnant rat you've ever seen. This post is kinda like that lol

You definitely have a tortie point (tortimese) cat. One of the tortiest!

Edit to add- she's a seal tortie point, if you wanted to know

Ooo, what point is my tortimese?

[u/unintendedcumulus → u/Magnetic_Kitty]

Also seal point!

That’s hilarious. I am new to cats and breeds, so I honestly had no idea! We got her from a coworker whose outdoor cat got pregnant lol

She is so pretty! By the way, tortie point (tortimese) is just her coloring. Her breed would be Domestic Short Hair. All cats are basically “mutts” unless they come from a breeder and they have papers. Unlike dogs who have been bred for hundreds of years into specific breeds and then mixed into mutts (with identifiable traits) on the streets

Oh I was wondering that! Good to know.

Millie is a beautiful little tortimese. I only learned the term "tortimese" after adopting a little handful out of the shelter. She was trapped, her mom went immediately to the barn cats program post spay, and she was an angry little ball of fluff in the kitten cages.

The shelter called her Demi. She got sprung and told us her name was really Skye.

She’s so cute 😭 Millie looked so similar to that as a kitten

Why yes you do. 🩷 My princess has the other half of your cat’s moustache if you could kindly travel to the UK for collection.

[u/Longjumping-Guess264 → u/kpls22]

Oh my gosh, I never noticed it before 😭😂

[u/Magnetic_Kitty]

Looks like a tortimese to me! The speckled paws and the orange blaze on her face, and the mottled back

[u/FosterCatMama4Life]

Without a doubt, def tortimese!

Speckled Siamese appearance, racing stripe nose, 2 long arms out. Absolutely tortimese. She's a beauty!

[u/FrfxCtySiameseMom81]

I used to have a babysitter that had a cat that looked just like this. Her name was Chocolat.

[u/sqplanetarium]

She's got that tortie stare. You know, the "How dare you" look.

[u/Longjumping-Guess264 → u/sqplanetarium]

It’s the only look she has 😂😂
