The Colours I Face

Tortoiseshell cats often have interesting patterns. I noticed early on in our acquaintance that Valkyrie’s face divided its colours between orange on one side and black on the other. But then I realised that this was only until the little nose was reached. Below that, indicated by the philtrum, the colours reverse. Then, under the mouth, on the lower jaw, they switch back. Valkyrie’s patterns are as fun as her character.

  4. Tortoiseshells and calicos do have interesting coloration. That's what makes them so beautiful, and Val is certainly a beauty.

  6. She's a beautiful girl and she just looks like she's ready to get into mischief there. (A "who, me?" expression on her face.) 😻
