Is she a Tortie? (Tortise shell color.) I had a barn cat that was. Really cool cat I got as a wee kitten. So wild I had to keep her in a cardboard box for a day or three. I think that was the one who decided to crawl into an open dresser drawer shortly after I got her. Got down in the back and the drawer was then shut. I was on a road trip in another state when she went missing. Fortunately someone heard her cries while I was on the phone and she was too skinny to get crushed. Whew! She would visit me in bed late at night and gently touch me with a paw, so as not to disturb me.

We had a tortoise shell kitten brought to us at three weeks old - got away from its mom somehow and no one knew where. We hand-fed her for a couple weeks until she could eat solid food then, just before we were to have her fixed, she got preggers and gave us a beauty of a calico. Wish I knew how to post pics.

"Kitten rescued after being snatched and then dropped from the sky by seagulls"

I thought seagulls preferred junk food.

Torties are the best, along with tuxedos. Which is just exactly what I have! My youngest (10 months) has learned how to open and shut the bedroom door. When she doesn’t want the other cats in the bedroom, she just locks them out. Every once in awhile at night i hear the door creak closed, followed by growling from the other side. Intervention is sometimes needed.
