Tortoiseshell is a cat coat coloring named for its similarity to tortoiseshell material. Like calicos, tortoiseshell cats are almost exclusively female.
Also called torties for short, tortoiseshell cats combine two colors other than white, either closely mixed or in larger patches. The colors are often described as red and black, but the "red" patches can instead be orange, yellow, or cream, and the "black" can instead be chocolate, grey, tabby, or blue. Tortoiseshell cats with the tabby pattern as one of their colors are sometimes referred to as a torbie.
"Tortoiseshell" is typically reserved for particolored cats with relatively small or no white markings. Those that are largely white with tortoiseshell patches are described as tricolor, tortoiseshell-and-white (in the United Kingdom), or calico (in Canada and the United States). Tortoiseshell markings appear in many different breeds, as well as in non-purebred domestic cats.

"Growing up Under the Nazi Regime"
"Growing up Under the Nazi Regime"
This first historical fiction novel from June Triana-Schiada is a passion project she started in 2021. “Powerless in Poland” is a coming-of-age story inspired by true events. World War 2 took the Marienfeldt family to German occupied Poland, with thousands of other reluctant transplanted Baltic Germans. They were all promised a better life, but to their dismay, that never came to fruition. They struggled to understand the Nazi regime and their convictions. George, only 11 when he arrived, delivered day old bread to the starving Jews in the Lodz ghetto. They forced him to join the Hitler Youth. He saw how the regime treated people and tried to spread the truth about the Party without getting killed himself. Then in 1945, the family joined the mass exodus leaving Poland when the Red Army bulldozed across Europe. Over the course of the war, this naïve, stuttering young boy grew up to be a sensitive and mature young man that saw through the hatred spread by the Nazi party. George grew up in a world no child should live in, but even in this dark place, he never lost hope.
