When my aunt is on a holiday I feed her cats. One of them is a tortie. Unlike their reputation it's one of the sweetest cats I know, probably because she associates me with food.

One time when I went to feed them, I thought I saw her outside. It was weird since I had just seen her go upstairs. I went outside and saw it wasn't her. She had other face markings.

Do torties have a bad reputation? Mine is a stupid little cinnamon roll and I'm having a hard time picturing anything else.

I'm a big fan of cinnamon rolls!

Some say torties have a special attitude (tortitude) and that they bite, scratch and hiss more easily. My aunt says the tortie is more temperamental than her other cats. I haven't experienced this since she is always sweet to me.
