[QUOTE=Mama Tiger]  
Our [Emily](http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m5/MamaTiger4747/Enoughalready.jpg) is pure tortie through and through – enough personality for 20 cats – but she’s also tiny; although she’s 11 now, she’s never weighed over 6.5 lbs in her life. Tiny with a LOT of attitude, that’s Emily. And a voice to match. She can yell like no cat I’ve ever had, and before she joined the household I’d always lived with Siamese!

Emily looks quite a lot like our [Breña](http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h207/mnems/IMGP0056.jpg) , who is also unbelievably tiny. I’m not sure what her current weight is, but when she crouches down, she’s a little smaller than a football. Lots of personality, but not super dominant; the two cats seem to have come to an agreement to be treated more or less as equals (so far). The vet who spayed her was expecting trouble because she’s a tortie, but she said she was the sweetest, nicest kitten!

Our torties/calicos (I think I’ll stick with calico for Feather - her stripes are very faint and not many of them) are chatty. The tortie is extremely vocal - almost at Siamese levels.

I can’t remember my tortie being particularly vocal. She was on the average-to-smallish side, but not tiny like the ones you guys have. She was so beautiful to me…
