White spotting is not limited to solid color-and-white combinations, and can also occur with any of the [[Tabby cat|tabby]] patterns, resulting in tabby-and-white bicolor coats. [[Point coloration|colorpoint]] cats can have bicolor points (colorpoint-and-white), although this variation is not recognized for showing in some cat breeds. An example of a bicolor colorpoint cat breed is the tuxedo patterned colorpoint-and-white [[Snowshoe cat]].<ref name="FIFe" /><ref name=":2" /> The body markings of bicolor colorpoints become clearer with age, as the body fur of colorpoint cats darkens as the cats grow older and the white patches become more distinctively visible.

White spotting can also occur in combination with tortoiseshell coats, these are known as [[Tricolor cat|tricolor cats]], tortoiseshell-and-white cats, or [[Calico cat|calico cats]] (US English). Tortoiseshell-and-white cats can also be found in combination with a tabby or colorpoint pattern.

Bicolor cats that are black and white are sometimes called "magpies". The cream and white bicolor cat is the rarest of the bicolors, while the black and white or "blue" (grey) and white are the most common.{{Citation needed|date=November 2020}}
