I'm a Super Hero


Yep, I found Grandpa T’s glasses.

He was looking and looking for something but I didn't know what. He was becoming frustrated because I heard him mumble something about being late to go somewhere; probably to work.

Then I found his glasses under a dresser by his bed. He saw me biting on them and took them from me. He petted me, thanked me, and congratulated me on being a “super” cat!

I am a super cat; I can run fast back and forth from the kitchen to the bedroom, from the bedroom to the kitchen. I’m thinking of calling myself “Bullet” or “Blur”, but Prosper is good too.

Soon I will include my picture here so you can see what I look like. I’m a beautiful tortoiseshell. Here is a picture of another Tortoise Shell cat I found on the Internet so you know what I’m talking about (of course I’m prettier):  



That’s it for today. Be sure to become a “follower by email” so you don’t miss my next post!

OK, this is Grandpa T. I just wanted to clarify a few things.

Prosper (AKA “Bullet, or whatever) was running from the kitchen to the bedroom as she said. Like other cat owners (and tortoiseshell lovers) I have to “cat-proof” everything. So I put my watch, glasses and other things in a decorative box each night before retiring.

This morning when I was sitting on my bed, “Bullet” is on my bed, ready for takeoff. And “take off” she did. Like a rocket she launched from the bed, knocking the box with my glasses in it off the bed onto the floor. I picked up the box but I didn’t see my glasses anywhere so I thought I had left them elsewhere.

So yes, I had been looking for a while and thanked Prosper for finding them!

Hi, Prosper here; or is it?

Hello. You know me as Prosper, but lately I’m being called: “Pumpkin Head” by Ter.

OK, I’m confused. Is my name “Prosper” or “Pumpkin Head”? Does he call me this because I have some orange color on my face? Or is it because he feeds me Libby’s brand pure pumpkin so I avoid having hairballs all the time? Is it because it’s the harvest time of the year and with holidays like Halloween, and Thanksgiving, where all of the humans celebrate with pumpkins?

Humans can be “strange” sometimes.

That’s all for now.

Signed “Pumpkin Head” AKA: Prosper

Tortoiseshell Tortitude



Welcome to Tortoiseshell Tortitude, a blog for cat lovers who love cats with an attitude! 

Tortoiseshell cats all have different personalities and I’m fortunate to have rescued one when it was young and “handled” it often. It is very affectionate. I’ve seen others who have this type of cat and they really have “attitudes”. They are very vocal and aloof. 

I’ve created this blog to share with others who have a love for tortoiseshells. 

My cat’s name is Prosper and she will be the star of this blog. 

Make it a great day!
Prosper and Terry
