2734.0. "Looking for Torti" by PSYCHE::MILLER () Mon Aug 07 1989 11:03

    Looking for Torti Persian
    
    I was at a pet store in Newington, NH and I saw a Torti and thought
    it was the most unique looking kitten!  They wanted 425.00 for it and
    I called a week later, price went down to 350.00.  I was going to buy
    her the following week if the price went down again, but a couple
    bought her before I went in again.
    
    I have a blue point himmie and she needs a playmate.  I am looking for
    a pet quality torti.  I only paid 200.00 for the himmie from a breeder
    in Sterling, Mass.  I live in Leominster and if anyone could direct me
    to a place (or breeder) where I can get a torti, I will be grateful.
    
    Thanks, Amie PHAROS::MILLER

	Amie, stay away from pet stores! You'll get a much nicer and healthier cat from a good breeder at a less expensive price. I don't have a list available of Himmie breeders; however, there are several cat shows coming to New Hampshire in the very near future so that would be a good place to acquire information. Also, one of the breeders in this file may be able to point you in the right direction.

	does it have to be a persian? The woman who I got Nippa (medium haired torti) from alway has kittens of every color.....(yes another sorry case, but I'm tired to trying to talk sence into people without having any)...I'm sure she'd have one. Michele

	You may think am stupid. Put what color is Tori ? IS it like bay or tans. Why I asked is my silver shaded just had four this early morning. Two of them are white and the other two have a mixture of black and gary. As they get older I'll be able to tell the color better. Joan

	Joan - A Torti or Tortoishell has small patches of black and red in her coat. Like Calico's Torti's are female 99.999% of the time. A Dilute Torti is cream and grey - the dilute forms of red and black - and are also female. Nancy

	re .3 Joan, You can't get Torti or Blue-Cream from the two cats you bred together. Your darker kittens are probably shaded silvers or silver tabbies. cin
2734.6	EWOK	PSYCHE::MILLER		`Tue Aug 08 1989 13:50`	7
	Thank you for your help... I am going to look at Cindy Gerry's kitties. I really wouldn't buy at a pet store. I got my himmie, Lulue from a breeder. All I can say about the Torti is that I have to find one that looks just like the one I saw at the pet store. She was TRULY the most unique looking kitty I ever saw! She look just like an EWOK from Return of the Jedi...Amie
2734.7		FSHQA1::RWAXMAN	A Cat Makes a Purrfect Friend	`Tue Aug 08 1989 13:58`	7
	Barbara Ives has a Himmie that looks just like an EWOK. Ming is a sealpoint and she is BEAUTIFUL! Barbara got her from Stoneystream Cattery owned by Mary Stenstrom who lives in Littleton. Cin has a very nice cattery and some wonderful cats. I'm sure you'll fall in love a million times!
