Dilute (blue cream) male tortie!

[dandysmom]

Regular black and orange male torties are scarce, but has anyone ever seen a dilute male? Our local Humane Societ lists cats for adoption on Fridays: yesterday there was a 7 year old blue cream male available ...beautiful animal,,,picture definitely showed his color...very jowly! Surely he must have been neutered, but he was definitely a boy!! That is so rare..would love to see him, but he's in the shelter in Upper Marlboro, way down in southern Maryland; impossible for a nondriver! Have any of you ever seen a blue cream male tortie?

Eileen - I've never even seen a blue/cream female tortie!!! However the colour combination sounds amazing - do you have a picture of said cat? It would be wonderful to see an example

Wow - that must be a rare breed!
Anybody volunteer to search for a pic of such a creature?

DM, sorry the picture is just in the newspaper and I don't have or have access to a scanner,wish I did! Yola, my Leia is a dilute blue-cream torbie (see avatar), she has tabby stripes on her legs, chest & tail but her body coat is brindled dilute: mixed blue and cream. She's the second blue cream torbie I've had: Misty was one also. Since dilute torties are scarcer than regular ones, imagine a dilute male must be really rare!
