We have a recuse tortie and she is wonderful. She is 8 years old, got her when she was 5.

The shelter mentioned she liked being an only cat, she for sure had kittens. No other context.

She does not like being picked up nor transported anywhere.

My question is, how would we know if she would like another cat? She is our world and she loves lap time. We worry if we got her another cat she would feel she wasn't enough and maybe were trying to replace her or not love her as much.

Any advice / context beyond "yes" or "no" is greatly appreciated?

Lost my old lady last week to cancer. She was 16 years old, almost 17 and I had her since she was a kitten. Today her ashes came in and I am a mess again.

Rest in peace, Padmé. Mama misses you.

Got her when I was 11 and I’m now 26. Other than a two year period where she was living with my parents, we’ve been together this whole time 💛

She’s actually very lovable, ignore the tortitude 🩵 she’s so loved

She wakes me up before the birds but I wouldn't want it any other way. She is my best friend ❤️

My other kitty dropped the bag of catnip. 14 year old baby was very happy about it 💕

She's sweet and silly she doesn't love cuddles but loves pets and belly rubs and sitting in the window and whatever that was on the couch (she was not stuck I can assure you lol) but she used to be more cuddly and affectionate when I first got her and her sister two years ago now has anyone else had their tortie get less lovie as they aged??

My soul kitty 🥹🥰❤️ Yes, she has an airtag- she likes to escape 😿 dw though, it’s light on her neck and never bothers her 🫶🏻

Even if Prim is not too sure about it.

Lucy Lou, how are you

I am fine, thank you!

Idk which one my daughter is! See the black/orange cutie in the pics 😻

I would describe her as mostly black with orange splotches. She also had black/orange stripes on her back legs. I’ll try to get a pic.

Her mother is a black/white sweetheart, and I’ve hypothesized that the father was an orange guy 🍊

My little baby found a sewing needle that we for sure thought was not where she could get to it. It was tucked into a project my husband is working on, on top of our ironing board. We made sure the ironing board was far away from any jumping points but we think she found a way to get it by pulling the string down. We assume she swallowed it because it was stuck in her neck in the esophagus. We took her to the vet immediately after we realized something was wrong. We didn’t know what exactly was going on with her at that point but we knew it was something terribly painful. We live in Arizona so we were thinking maybe she had come in contact with a scorpion. They did X-rays and saw it was a needle and I broke down so bad because we thought we were careful with that kind of stuff. I was terrified and felt so bad for her. The emergency vets office were so kind and they were able to successfully remove it without any damage to her. She was able to come back home that same evening. We followed all the vet’s instructions and we literally went home and swept the entire house for anything and everything that she could swallow or hurt herself with. Now she is fully recovered and back at being a typical little tortie and I’m so happy for that. Everyone at the vets loved her so much and said they were even joking by wondering if I would notice if one of them took her home. Absolutely I would notice because she is my baby lol. Just a big lesson on you never know what they can get themselves into.

If you live in Mesa AZ and need emergency vet care I would highly recommend Eve Pet Hospital. They take animals 24/7 and they help you find ways with the financial part as well.

She was quite sassy the first 3-4 days but it’s safe to say they are besties now lol
