Tortoiseshell cats are beautiful creatures affectionally called “torties.” Best known as “the divas of the cat world,” a tortie hides surprising facts within its unique multicolor fur. Torties are famously sassy, vocal felines with catitude. Their endless amount of energy can at times come across as being headstrong or attention-seeking from their humans.

In general, cats live longer than dogs. The average lifespan of indoor house cats these days is from 12 to 15 years and depends on a lot of variables, from diet and exercise to their overall health and breed.
