Emily looks quite a lot like our Breña , 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…
