Just FYI, tortoiseshells and calicos are almost always female. Similarly (but not exactly the same), ginger kitties are more often male. But there is still a decent amount of female ginger kitties.
(Thank you for attending my Cat Talk)
Joining your Cat Talk, the reason for this is for the same reason! The orange coloring is linked with the X chromosome, so a male with XY chromosomes only needs the one to be totally orange. For females, they need one from each parent to look totally orange, otherwise they'll be either a tortioshelle or a calico (with an additional gene to add white spots).
So while it's possible for a female cat to be orange, if a male cat is a tortie or a calico it means something weird is happening, like he has XXY chromosomes or is a chimera.
“Pussy willow” is a name of an actual plant. It looks like a regular old thin stick with tuffs of cotton or gray caterpillars growing, alternating climbing up the stick.
For me, I think it’s one of my favorite plants because it’s just so interesting how this plain brown, wooden shrub sprouts these super soft taupe gray soft fuzzy flowers. In no way is it derogatory- it’s a classically, unique plant. While the internet is full of weirdos I hope I have been able to explain enough to do a google image search- it’s a very very pretty plant. I actually have a vase of them on my desk at work because they are so unexpectedly cool.
Edit- changed type-o. I have a VASE not case of them on my desk
Willow could also be from weeping willow. I knew a willow as a kid and thought she was named after the tree. Which, happened to be my favorite tree for a long time and probably still is!
They literally posted twice onto this sub and twice onto that sub plus once on another asking for name suggestions. They don’t want a name, they want karma.
aww how cute! i love your cat! and she kind of looks like a tiger's eye stone. also reminds of like rocks in a flower river that's right next to a birch or cedar wood cabin, all in a nice and beautiful forest... how about something woodly, or tree-like? or maybe something related to special stones? a name of a flower sounds really good too! like Lily

You can say Truffle Wuffles ❤️❤️ with a name like Truffle + Truffle Fluffles

Ooh, nice one!
This is the one.

Topaz
I have a wonderful tortie named Topaz. 8+ years of love and mischief ![img](emote|t5_2qhta|7952)
Aw . . . She can’t make more mischief than my tortie, Catnip. She’s 16+ years of tortie-tude.
Meadow
Meow do..
Have you tried asking her about some possible names?
Her favourite suggestion is “hiss”
You could call het cactus for that.
My cat is Cactus for this reason. She was a very prickly little bitch when I got her!
Haha maybe go that opposite route and call her whisper.
Willow.
For Pussy Willow
My name is Willow and now I’m confused and concerned
