I have an 8 year old tortie named Mollie Rose who is as quiet as a mouse. She never meows. All she does is eat and sleep. She is the matriarch of my 6 cat family. And, she was my very first cat.

She has somewhat of a tortietude. She loves to snuggle after the lights have been out for a little bit but only on her terms. She LOVES being combed and will come flying out from another room when I tap the comb on the chair. Her purr is very soft. The only way I can tell she is purring is by putting my finger on her throat. Once in a while she'll stick her cold, wet nose in my ear. ANd she doesn't like being held for too long. Again, most of the loving she gives is on her own terms and when it's convenient for HER.

Gotta love her!
