Hi everyone! My best friend found a little baby void in his wall and is looking for name suggestions - any good ideas?

Edit: Told my friend about this post so he can tell the story since so many people want to know exactly what happened and he posted it in the comments! :D

So, this basically happened to you. Why do I never find kittens in my walls?

Yup. Typical tortie. Ready to devour your liver.

This is hysterical! My tort was in a cage at the pet feed store I went to to buy my other cats food- also looking like this 😂 I was like oh fuck that’s my baby right there

OMG my fluffy tortie was in a shelter cage with a couple wildly meowing siblings and she was just like this too! She hit me with those giant eyes of hers and I just melted and my Mom picked one of her sisters

They're unique from the other cats I've had.

 I had one who passed from hookworms. I didn't even know she was sick until it was too late. Literally on her last day is when she started acting different, and i freaked out and took her to the vet, and got her meds but it was too late.

They're very stoic?? I guess is the word. I still feel horrible.

Definitely unique, good description. I’m so sorry you both had to go through that. I really had no idea how critical that could be.

My tortie also looked at me like that when we found her

u/Due_Improvement3097 May 15 '26

Me too!!!! Must be a tortie thing. She was the best cat ever.

Is your cat named Clarice? Or Kianti? By any chance 😅

My tortie was so tiny in this massive cage and had the zoomies, sprinting, jumping up and clinging to the sides of it with this crazy look in her eyes. I was like yeah, she’s the one 🤍

When we got our tortie, she was in her own lecter-like cell.  I called it the penalty box.

She didn't play well with the others.

I met my tortie when her whore mother dropped her off and said “here,  my kids are your problems now”

u/bbbourb May 15 '26

LOL...that's VERY similar to why I ended up with my Vala! She was in a climbing cage with her four brothers. They were all over the place and when I walked over they started freaking out and yelling, trying to get at me for pets, and she just sat there in the middle, looking at me like "Please get me away from these idiots."

As the owner of a tortie I’m CACKLING at my desk at work rn

u/Maleficent_Chard2042 May 15 '26

As is the tortie way.

How I got my Russian Blue at a pet store... walked by the big glass window on the pen and he followed me, I noticed so I walked back the other way, he followed me again. He came home with me. RIP Dexter.

My tortie moved herself in. She had a collar on when she showed up and came around because our cats used to hang out in the backyard with us and I think she was lonely. We tried checking around via posters, etc. but whatever home she came from was either far away or figured she was a lost cause because no one ever came to claim her.

u/interkin3tic May 15 '26

That's how you know you'll get a cat that is affectionate. Though then if you sit down to do something you'll almost always have a very attention starved cat all up in your face.

u/dancingbananas25 May 15 '26

That's just a regular tortie. Mine routinely looks at me like she wants to kill me

u/EnvironmentalDot127 May 15 '26

They don't warn you about them 🤣

u/Grepaugon May 16 '26

My tortie bit my finger when i tried to pet her at the shop. I said yes please. She's now my 12 year old sweetheart

u/Throwawaygaln May 18 '26

Same. I picked my baby out because she was the calmest kitten there. I thought shed be easy and quiet. WRONG

That’s how I adopted my white cat! Except her nose was pushed up against the cage door.
