Not particularly. This would be like asking is a blonde headed kid is not as smart a brunette. It's the individual animal just like the indivual person. Color has no effect as much as the rearing environment to learn in.

Cat ChatNo Tortoiseshell cats are no less intelligent than any other, but all animals have a specific thing that they tend to excel at. AnswerDefinitely not.

Tortoise cats were a horrible research accident from the 1950s and were never really meant to breed. Unfortunately, there was a breach at the Nevada laboratory where they were first hybridized and they escaped into the Nevada-California desert. Generally, Tortoise cats are really dumb and are often found dead after trying to eat cacti or bury their heads in the sand. They do have a very tough shell and a soothing purr.

I think you mean tortoiseshell cats. Yes, they are smart.
