Bi-Color: Bi-colored cats may include tuxedos, as well as other configurations on one color plus white.Tuxedo: Tuxedo cats were so named for their glossy black coats, enhanced with white bibs and "spats," (less flamboyantly described as white feet).It should be noted that white plays a very small role in the tortoiseshell pattern most of the color weaving is done with the red and black components. Like the tabby, some torties may also have white accent markings, creating a "tortie with white." They also sometimes have an interesting mix of tortoiseshell, with a bonus of tabby patterning mixed throughout. Tortoiseshell cats may also be dilute, with softer versions of the colors. Instead of solid blocks, torties' coats weave the black and red throughout, creating a tapestry of color. Tortoiseshell AKA "Tortie": Torties are not true tri-color cats because they do not all contain white.A dilute calico will have pale orange or buff for the red, and gray (or "blue") for the black. "faded" shades of the original, which gives them an ethereal appearance. Dilute calicos, have the same separate blocks of color, only the colors are "diluted," i.e. They also may have blocks of tabby pattern, which produces an extremely colorful and beautiful cat. Calico: Separate solid blocks of color, which must include red (orange), black, and white.Tri-color Cats: Because of the associated genetic factors that create their color patterns, tri-color cats almost always are female, although occasional males crop up (about one in 3,000, according to this excellent article by Barbara French) Those rare males are almost always sterile, also for reasons of genetics, so don't expect to gain a fortune by selling your male calico cat.Solids: Solid colored cats come in four basic colors, plus "dilute" colors of each.Tabbies may also wear white "accessories," such as a bib, vest, or "boots." Thus, they could be described as a "tabby with white." Other patterns described for tabbies include the Ticked tabby, and Orange tabby, all of which have beautiful and unique patterns. Spotted tabbies are another official variety and while Spotted tabbies sometimes crop up in a domestic shorthair, they are also often found in certain breeds, such as the Ocicat, Bengal, Savannah, and the American Bobtail. Depending on the specific pattern, the striped tabbies may be referred to as a Mackerel tabbies or Classic tabbies. Striped tabbies are often referred to as "tiger," for obvious reasons. They are easily differentiated by their stripes, whorls, and spots ( the latter generally found on their tummies) and each pattern has a distinct name. Tabbies: Tabby cats have some of the most common patterns and are some of the most popular.Commonly seen mixed breeds in shelters include Maine Coon mix, Persian mix, and Siamese mix.
