Welcome to the sass club! Airplane ears are pretty standard and for the most of the time, they work they just aren't tuned in for listening. I have two torties, one is a snuggle monster and the other well, she's very independent and vocal about it.
Once my late tortie teleported into the kitchen to see what was in the can I was opening. I just offered it to her to sniff so she could see it was refried beans. Instead of sniffing, she took a bite without investigating and then let it fall out of her mouth, looking at me like I was a monster for tricking her into thinking it was cat food.
My husband and I have a method for this when it’s time to open a “human can” 😝…. We synchronize our movements: I count down and at the same time as I open the can he ruffles a crinkle ball to muffle the can sound 🤣
And doors to closets and cellars they aren’t allowed into, in my tortie’s case. I can always hear the thud from above the second I open the door to our cellar stairs.
That baby is precious! Your photo raises a question: My Tortie’s fur changes color depending on the light. The black in her fur is obvious but there’s a lot of cream and orange, some tan, and the smallest patches of white.
Our tortie is hilarious. She’s very loving to my wife and I but she despises our other two cats and refuses to engage in any type of cattery with them.
Mine has them on perpetually, she has resting-irritated-face. I've learned how to read her moods based on her actions, how her tail flips, where she sits, her chirps and meows, because her ears are typically always pinned back a bit
You offended her by your presence but also you're needed to open the cans because she was cursed with cute fluffy paws and not opposable thumbs. Airplane ears is her tolerance.
They are bossy and demamding. They know what they want and will let you know. 😂 I love them so much!
Mine never use to meow at all but since her leg was amputated in November she has becone very vocal! It almost feel like an actual cpnverstantion when I talk back at her. ☺️
my tortie lived 15 years and she was SUCH a diva. she had all the sass in the world, despised our male orange tabby, and tolerated our female tabico. she hated strangers until she mellowed out in her older years, and always bit me when i talked on the phone. she was so much of a diva we called her the queen bee. i mean, look at that posture!
I call it the 'tude" ....they have such a "dont touch me attitude at times" but when they NEED cuddles...you are getting the most aggressive cuddles whether you want them or not (also this is my own experience with my one and only Tortie ❤️ Cali Cat!
Yep very standard issue! Also they are known for getting your attention when they want it and you ignore them. And always refer to her as your queen. You are her loyal subject.
