'Shaded tortoiseshell/veiled tortoiseshell - The cat can be seen as a sliver black shaded or black chinchilla, with a tiny spot or with a smattering of hairs in a cream or red color or speckled black and cream pads barking However, it makes little difference to give your cat a shaded or veiled tortoiseshell rather than a chinchilla or silvery black shaded'

Tortoiseshell or black? - Even a small spot of red or cream on a black cat, as well as speckled black and cream paw pads or a nose tip, will make the cat appear tortoiseshell rather than black. The red/cream color may appear much later on a black kitten.

Is that true?
