Is a tortoiseshell cat a native cat?

The tortoiseshell cat is a Chinese pastoral cat, and it is also a native cat. The tortoiseshell cat is named after its appearance. The color of its hair is very similar to that of a sea turtle, and its body has three colors of patterns: black, white and yellow. It is a very common Chinese pastoral cat. Tortoiseshell cats in good condition have very beautiful colors and long-haired and short-haired varieties, and are very suitable for family breeding.
