New Jersey is like New York: Utterly insane.

I know. I wish I could move my parents somewhere else but they are stubborn folks. They want to stay here. ;(

I could get a house for what I’m paying to rent a studio apartment- and have more than one cat. Maybe even a dog!

People stop and ask how we get them to follow us.

Filling your pockets with tuna fish helps.......

I suspect that the motivation is revenue collection rather than safety.

No need for that, but they do get tuna snacks every evening. Mama cat also loves one or two shrimp now and then.

That’s the question, of course. :P

I have never seen a cat make that face before!

I’ve never seen a Tortoise shell cat before.

Whats the difference between a calico cat and a tortoiseshell cat?

A calico-colored cat is a white-based cat that has large splotches of black and large splotches of orange that don't intermingle. Black, orange, and white are all (for the most part) separate.

A tortoiseshell-colored cat has black and orange mixed in together, in a brindle-type pattern. The majority have a 'split' nose....black on one side and orange on the other. They can also have white on them....but that makes them torti and white, not calico.

Some cats couldn't 'decide' which they wanted to be, lol....and end up with some calico-colored body parts, and some torti-colored body parts.

The situation is further complicated when you have torti and tabby markings (stripes) at the same time. We call that a 'torbi.'

I confuse the two.
