Cats and dogs that we’ve had, that get old, only seem to gray about the face. Nothing even comes close to this alleged critter’s age.
What an interesting experience you had with your tort.
It really was and I had that experience with both of my torts. They didn't have a lot of markings in the beginning; but they changed over the years. Here's a picture of her when she was 14. She didn't have any of these colorings when I got her. She looked just like a seal point kitten. If I can find any pictures of her when she was a baby I will post.
