Above are black (smoke), solid chocolate and chocolate tortie kittens. The black is shown for
colour comparison. Chocolate and choc-tortie are more common in pedigree cats than in
randombreds, but these kittens were born to non-pedigree parents. Photo courtesy of Leva
Cygnet.
In Siamese cats, only the points (legs, tail and face) show as tortoiseshell and because the
gene causing the Siamese pattern turns black into dark brown, the tortoiseshell pattern will
contain dark brown rather than jet black.
TORTOISESHELL TABBY AND TORTOISESHELL TIPPED
Tortoiseshell combines with the tabby pattern to create tortoiseshell-tabbies, also known as
patched tabbies or (in the US) torbies. The tabby pattern may be classic (blotched), mackerel
or spotted.
