Re: Long hair tortie girl wanted
The tortie pattern is as a result of a sex linked gene. This means there is a dominant orange gene which is only necessary as a single copy in an offspring and the back gene which is recessive meaning it require two copies to be displayed in an offspring. Since these genes are found on the X chromosome 99.9% of all torties are female as they have 2 X chromosomes. Male torties are found but are usually infertile and often have an extra X chromosome as well as the normal X and Y.

Re: Long hair tortie girl wanted
i drove up to methill in fife to get my long haired tortie (she is a gorgeous blue tortie) from glasgow but am not sure where her original owner got her. if you are serious, look for maine coon breeders up there and if you are introducing a cat like that it should be ok as coonies are great cats but you do need to groom them and make sure they get enough oil in their diet as their skn can get very dry
