No particular reason for taking these: she was just sitting there looking out the window and the camera was handy......

Thanks. I know, she is my second blue torbie! I wonder what the odds are of that?

Leia is the first one I have ever seen..
What is the difference between a Torbie and a Tortie???is it to do with the colouring??

A torbie is a tortie-tabby. Tabby markings on face, neck, legs, tummy and tail; tortie coat. They're also known here in the States as patched tabbies. Leia is a good example; her tabby M isn't too clear but the tabby markings everywhere else are very distinct, especially the tail! And her coat is dilute brindled tortie. I wish I knew a bit of cat genetics; I have no idea what breeding produces this coat pattern. Misty had the identical markings, but she was a smaller, stouter cat.

Best reason for photo. "Because she was there". ^^

Yes, Leia really is a most unusual colouring. Can't say I have ever seen another cat with her colouring at all!

In an galaxy far far away ..... perhaps!

There's something very tranquil looking in those photos, Eileen.....Leia looks lovely framed in foliage
