Remember that the Orange gene colours each colour to red and
is called a mimic gene. Therefore you can have for gene B the following
combinations: BB, Bb, Bbl, bb, bbl, blbl. Remember also that there is no difference between red self and red tabby. Therefore you can have for gene A the following combinations: AA, Aa, aa. |

Normally you will not find cinnamon/fawn (tortie) and white in Persians or
in the Semi-Longhairs. But you'll find them f.e. in the Rex, where those colours are
recognized in several federations.
But recently you can find cinnamon/fawn (tortie) and white also in the Orientals, they
look quite nicely. Bicoloured orientals are called Seychellois.
By nature such colours are not impossible, but they are still rare, because those colours
are not recognized in many federations. That means it is only a practical reason that
breeders don't breed for such colours in other breeds, because those cats won't become
Champions.
All other Bicolour varieties you can find in many breeds, as in Persians and Exotic,
British Shorthair, European Shorthair - in European Shorthair chocolate/lilac is mostly
not recognized, as the Europeans are a so called natural breed, in Ragdolls - in Ragdolls red/cream
and of course also torties and cinnamon/fawn are excluded, in Manx, in Japanese Bobtails,
and so on.
