Yeah I'm not familiar with cats, I was asked to post this by family.

Can domestic cats come in multiple colors too?

Yup! I have a calico (it’s a specific fur pattern) and she is a domesticated short hair! :D From what I’ve seen the most common fur patterns are calico, tortoiseshell, and tabby!

I thought Tabby was a breed. What fur pattern is tabby?

Tabbies are the striped ones!

Good to know. Thank you. I've always been a dog lover but I am getting ready to bring home my first kitten. Trying to get up to speed fast.

I hope so too. I have thought and talked it out. I have been getting over the loss of my dog but it's been a long time. Living alone is lonely, imagine that! I've been talking to friends and family with cats and to vets to get an idea of what to expect and what I need to know to make a good home for a new kitten. Dogs I kind of get instinctively, but a cat is going to take some learning to do right by her.

Cats are definitely a whole different story than dogs! They can be just as good companions though :) I really hope that everything goes well for you and I’m sure you’ll be an amazing cat parent!
