In case you are wondering who is that who is that cat? Let me introduce Tinka Tingle (lived 11 years}. She was a Torte Point Hymie and the only pure bread cat I have ever owned.


Tinka is named after a real person. I had never met her she was a friend of moms, in antiques i think ,but I was crazy about the name just like saying it Tinka Tingle. Tinka the human was quite honored to have such a beautiful name sake.


I got Tinka as a companion for the love of my life Skyler (lived 18 years) another story. He deserved the prettiest girl. She loved to pose for pictures and preen and fuss over herself. Very much a lady. She would even model for me to sketch.


Tinka walked with her tale down just above the floor curled up at the tip and never dragging. It was more like the train of a long dress flowing behind her.


Not sure if it is common in the breed?? I have never seen another cat walk tail down other than when stalking.
I miss her.
