One effect of white spotting in tortoiseshell cats (torties) is it can change their coat pattern. Torties can vary from brindled to patched. Tortie cats with little or no white tend to have brindled coats. However, the more white there is, the more the black and white will also be separated out into patches instead of being intermingled.

Thank you @CatsTatsBikes for letting me feature your beautiful brindle tortie Sally for this week’s Fun Cat Friday Fact. Both Sally and Martooni are technically considered black torties, but you can see their coat patterns are different.
