Since the orange tabby areas are two-toned, it creates the appearance of a three-toned cat. Tortoiseshell coat colors can include red, brown, chocolate toned brown, black, cinnamon, or cream. The tortoise shell pattern ranges form patches of color to a fine speckled patterning. The name Tortoiseshell Cat generally refers to those with an overall brindle coat, having very few or no white markings. They generally have numerous flecks of color that soften or nearly eliminate any clear boundaries between color sections. The Tortie Cat is a interesting variation of the Tortoiseshell cat. These tortoiseshell color patterns have a mix of the tortoiseshell colors intertwined with a Tabby Cat patterning throughout. The Calico Cat, another very beautiful cat, is also a tortoiseshell. These are mostly white, but with red and brown patches.
By Rachel Hogue Â© 2014. Overheating is a common problem in both racing and pet greyhounds. They overheat easily because they have such a thin hair coat and very little body fat. Dogs donât sweat like we do, and a greyhoundâs small amount of insulation makes temperature regulation that much more difficult.
They just donât pant as well as other dogs. If you think about it, your dog wears a fur coat, even in the summer, so it doesnât take much for him to get overheated. Dogs that are stuck in the sun or run without access to water may also suffer from heat stroke and drool.
