| | Torties, Calicos and Tricolor Cats |
 | | There is a designation called "bicolor" where the cat has a significant portion of white fur, but the rest of the cat is either a solid color such as fl, blue, red, or a patterned color such as brown tabby, silver tabby (what many people call "tiger"), blue tabby, etc. |
 | | A white cat with patches of tiger stripe might appear to have three colors -- white, fl, and gray -- but because one of the three colors is not red or cream, it is not a true tricolor. |
 | | You must have the combination of the O and the o to create this, which means the cat must have two genes. |
