never seen a polydactyl turtle before
Hide yo guns, that turtle has opposible thumbs
ok ok ok ok ok ok ok
there is literally a cat fur type
called tortoise shell
the joke wrote itself but we had to reinvent the wheel here
still updooting for mr skeltal
I was going to make a "I said tortie, not turtle" joke, but ya beat me to it.
I think the english call it "calico"
According to the Wikipedia article I just read (which now makes me an expert), calico is a specific kind of tortie. All calicos are tortoiseshell but not all tortoiseshell are calico.
ah, alright, thank you expert
the english probably call them puzzly wuzzly fluffer beasts or some shit who care bout them
I hope the cat's name is Mittens.
That's a turtle
Ah, the elusive tortoiseshell cat
