Arohanui, My Tortie was called Willow, too! She crossed the Rainbow Bridge 4 years ago next month. Scritch your Willow for me. ❤

WalksBySelf, I've only heard of the term tortoiseshell for these cats. We had one once. She was called Gladys. When my then future Mother in law asked the name, she said rather disapprovingly that her sister was called Gladys.

Ginger cats also are usually male. Except for my beautiful all orange female cat.
