I'm pretty sure that Tortoiseshell isn't an actual breed, but rather a color pattern. My boyfriend and I had adopted a beautiful 7 or 8 month old Tortie from a shelter about six years ago, and she recently passed away. we had four cats at the time she passed, and it was so sudden. She started coughing and in a matter of five seconds she was gone. She didn't like other cats, but she tolerated the others in the house and very rarely she would allow them to lay next to her. She had such tortitude, and was our little baby. We were wondering if any one else has had any health problems with their Torties, or knows anything about if they are prone to any health issues . We have been searching night and day for answers.
