The American Shorthair, also known as the Cheese Cat, is a tabby cat that may have white markings. American Shorthairs come in two main types: silver tabby and white-striped. The white-striped variety has white fur mixed in with its markings.
In addition, there is another type of cat on the market called a "calico cat," which refers to a cat with three colors: black, red (orange), and white, hence the name tricolor cat. However, the color of a calico cat does not distinguish between breeds; this color mainly refers to the coat pattern, and most calico cats are female.
