wow.....we had a tortie that looked a lot like yours - only longer hair. We built a home out in a wooded area and she decided to come out of the woods (where she had apparently been "dropped off and abandoned" ) and adopted us. We called her Smudge.....
That is an interesting name for a cat.
I do love that little meathead ( he can be a little turd from time to time ), but a well-behaved cat none the less .
