One tortoiseshell's climbing wall is another's sleeping surface.
A slightly out of focus, mostly black tortoiseshell cat is standing perpendicular to the camera with her back arched. She is glaring. She is on an old blue floral print mattress that is on its side, aimed at a doorway. She loved climbing on it, but it's going to the curb where someone actually rescues it before trash collection.

Stretch them toes.
A mostly black cat lies on her side and a bit twisted on a knitted blue, turquoise, and white blankie on top of an upholstered chair. Her hind feet are nearest the viewer. She's got mixed pink and black toe beans.

A close up of a mostly black tortoiseshell cat's face. Her bright green eyes and expression suggest she is experiencing consequences of actions she already doesn't remember.

A glossy black cat is curled up tidily on a bankie printed with 50s pickup trucks and shirtless cowboys. Her yellow-green eyes peer drill directly into your soul. You are found wanting.

All mud, no thoughts
A gray and white malamute (wolf-looking dog) is lying on a wet deck, her back to a brick wall. She is sticking her tongue out slightly. All four ordinarily white feet are covered in black mud. She is very pleased with this arrangement.

Tort on desk duty
A mostly black tortoiseshell is tucked into a perfect loaf on a stack of note pads. She could be the model for the cover of a cozy mystery featuring a crime-solving lawyer cat.

#proofofcat who isn't going to give my chair back.
A close up that is level with a small, mostly black tortoiseshell cat who is mostly in loaf position and facing the camera. She has blond eyelashes, glaring green eyes, on off-center orange bib, and her left front paw is out of loaf position. She is on a blue towel on an office chair with a mesh back.

Tort sideways.
The head and striated toe beans of a mostly black tortoiseshell resting on several note pads. Her green eyes glare directly at the camera. She still hasn't forgiven the trip to the vet two days ago.

A small, mostly black tortoiseshell with green eyes sitting in a cardboard box is looking up, past the camera. She has crime thoughts.

Every day is tort appreciation day
A mostly black tortoiseshell cat standing on her hind legs, with her front legs braced against a long mirror attached to a closed door. Her reflection is glaring at the camera. She is contemplating crimes.

The "no thoughts" expression is a trap. Mondays are for mutinee.
A small, mostly black tortoiseshell with vacant green eyes and an off-center orange bib sits atop a heavily used scratch post. Mondays are also for mayhem.

See many tort leave a mini tort
A three-week-old tortoiseshell kitten glares up furiously from her bathtub prison. Her front paws look huge, but they are a false promise, as she is destined to stay 8 pounds. She looks all black except for some blond eyeliner and an off-center orange bib.

This dingdong broke a sprinkler line and then tried to gnaw a toxic vine (taken away from her right after photo was taken).
A large mud-covered malamute puppy shown grabbing for a vine that if eaten could kill her, because she likes going to the vet. They give her spray cheese.
