    I might have chosen a different game related name if that swirl on their side was the first thing I saw.

    “Here’s little Dreamcast.”

        She does post up next to me when I’m at the PC.

        I don’t have the heart to tell her pop is ubuntu based.

        If she were a Debian kitty she wouldn’t start. That hardware is maybe 1-1½ years old, the LTS kernel doesn’t support it yet.

    She’s not a tortie. That there is a standard issue tabby cat.

      OP didn’t say “tortie”. They said tortoise shell pattern. (Well, they implied that.) The pattern of dots on the cat’s belly does indeed look kind of like a tortoise shell.

        Tortie is just shorthand for tortoiseshell, which the belly isn’t. She’s a very pretty cat, but words have meanings and she doesn’t have tortoiseshell pattern fur.

          I’m not talking about the color variant (which doesn’t look like a toirtoise at all, really). OP’s cat’s belly looks like a literal tortoise shell.

            This is just kinda obstinate though. Tortoiseshell in the context of cats obviously refers to the fur pattern. To assume otherwise is odd. And just because that’s the kind of tortoiseshell you’re thinking of doesn’t mean the pattern isn’t also named after a tortoiseshell.

      Yeah, “classic” or “marble” tabby pattern. Very pretty, but not tortoiseshell. My calico has tortoiseshell over most of her body.

          I’m not talking about breeds either. I’m talking about fur patterns. Breeds are cruel, fur patterns are just genetic expressions.

      Yes, spiral on one side and a heart on the other but I haven’t been able to snap a pic of that side yet…she’s a busy one.
