Remembering Ruby on the 7th Annual Tortoiseshell Cat Appreciation Day

Today is the 7th annual Tortoiseshell Cat Appreciation Day!

I created this day in memory of Ruby. April 17, 2011 was the day I brought her home. My precious little Ruby was the consummate tortie. She had tortitude in spades. She was strong-willed, lively, and very possessive of me. She wore her big tortie heart on the proverbial sleeve: she was the most affectionate cat I ever had.

Help me celebrate Ruby’s memory today

Let’s turn Facebook, Instagram, and any other social networks you’re a part of brown, tan, gold, black, cinnamon and all colors in between today to celebrate our torties in all their beauty and uniqueness!

Create your own Tortoiseshell Cat Appreciation Day Photo

If you’d like, you can use our Tortoiseshell Cat Appreciation Day logo to create your own photos. Right click on the image below and save it to your computer, then use the blank frame with your favorite photo editor to create an image with your own tortie. All I ask is that you don’t alter the frame and leave the copyright and URL at the bottom of the frame in place in anything you create.

Use hashtag

Allegra is ready for the celebration. She also thinks we all need to have some tuna cake today in Ruby’s memory.
