I have a torbie myself. Of our three cats (all female, one’s an orange tabby and the other a tortoiseshell) she’s the most independent.
I have to agree. I have three, the Torbie is Sarah. She’s 16+ and is the smartest animal in the house. Her kidneys are starting to go :-(. Taking her in tomorrow for teeth scaling, a very common problem with Torbies) Two days ago, she jumped out of a tree crotch and sprained something in the hip/leg. I though it was broken..vet confirmed not breaks, thank goodness. Been an expensive week.
