    I never realized there was such a thing as "Tortoise Shell Siamese"!
    I've never seen a siamese like that at any of the cat shows.

1223.3two kinds of tortie siameseBUFFER::FUSCIDEC has it (on backorder) NOW!Tue Mar 29 1988 20:0613
re: .2  Tortoise shell siamese

There are actually two different kinds:

	One kind with the tortie pattern just in the points.  This is
	usually called a tortie-point, and is a colorpoint shorthair.

	Another kind with the tortie pattern across the whole body.
	This is a tortie oriental shorthair.

They're both striking cats!

1223.5a surpriseNHL::DALEYWed Mar 30 1988 19:0913
    Was I ever surprised to read these notes!! I was so dumb about
    one of my cats!!! I got an abandoned cat, Daisy, from a vet once and
    he called her a Tortie Siamese. Then when I moved and changed vets
    the next one also called her a Tortie Siamese. I never asked about it,
    I thought they were calling her some type of Siamese cross. But
    she has the most beautiful blue eyes, and when I take her into the
    vets or someone comes to visit at my home, she is always singled
    out by a comment on how beautiful she is. Maybe I have a Tortie
    Siamese afterall - just like the two vets said -only I was too 
    ignorant to realize what they were telling me. Thanks for the
    info.    
                                            
    
1223.6Colorpoint SH = SiameseAQUA::GOLDMANMatt GoldmanFri Apr 15 1988 15:505
I know this has been discussed elsewhere but regardless of what certain 
organizations call them (read Colorpoint Shorthairs), Tortie Point Siamese 
breed true and therefore are true Siamese: not crosses and not hybrids.

Politics and traditions do nothing but add confusion to this color class.
