Can domestic cats come in multiple colors too?

Yep. There are a few color and pattern variations that are only found in pure-bred cats, but there's a huge variety of colors and patterns that non-breed cats can have.

If your cat's fur has patches of orange, black/brown, and white, then her fur is called "calico". FYI only female cats can be calico!

Not only but most. Very few male calicos
