A lot of anecdotal evidencer but seems that torties have black whiskers & T & W's have white! Wonder if anyone has an exception?

Re: Whiskers - torties, tortie and whites ?


I'm dragging this thread back up because I saw an exception to this rule, a couple of weeks ago I met a tortie (no white at all) who was really friendly, she had all black whiskers except for 1 single whisker was white!

Oh Sam, I should have mentioned that very occasionally a black-whiskered tortie will have one white one: my Patches did; used to kid her that she was getting old and needed a dye job!
