The wild-type (in African wildcats) is the mackerel tabby (stripes look like thin fishbones and may break up into bars or spots). The most common variant is the classic tabby pattern (broad bands, whorls, and spirals of dark color on pale background usually with bulls-eye or oyster pattern on flank). [12]
The ticked tabby pattern is a result of a different allele at the same gene locus as the mackerel and classic tabby patterns and this allele is dominant over the others. So a T a T a genotype as well as T a T m and T a T b genotypes will be ticked tabbies. The ticked tabby coat essentially masks any other tabby pattern, producing a non ...
Markings pattern: Mackerel tabby. The markings to the ground pattern contrast must be extreme and distinct, giving a clear, sharply edged pattern. Body markings: Body stripes shall generally be vertically aligned with encircling markings on neck, legs, and tail. Bold, braided, and non-uniform stripes are preferred.
The most familiar colour variant is the "British Blue", with a solid grey-blue coat, pineapple eyes, and a medium-sized tail. The breed has also been bred in a wide range of other colours and patterns, including tabby and colourpoint. It is one of the most ancient cat breeds known. It remains the most popular pedigreed breed in its native ...
Tabby coat pattern: Recognized by GCCF and CFA. [6] [7] Each hair shaft should have a band of color around the middle of the hair shaft. GCCF recognizes four variants of tabby: classic, mackerel, spotted and ticked. [8] Bicolor pattern: Recognized by GCCF and CFA.
Blue mackerel caught off Java. The blue mackerel can be flighty and difficult to catch, especially in estuaries and harbors. Blue mackerel are caught for both commercial and private use, for food as well as bait for tuna and other fish. [10] Blue mackerel are often used as cat food, but are also consumed by humans smoked, grilled, or broiled ...
In 2013 the GCCF recognised the Aztec as a separate breed. The Aztec is a mackerel tabby coated version of the Ocicat that would often occur in litters but not meet the standard of the Ocicat as it called for spotted cats only. Aside from the coat it is otherwise identical to the Ocicat. [9]
This breed was developed in Australia in 1977 by Dr. Truda Straede with a gene-pool of approximately 30 foundation cats. [3] Dr. Straede submitted a plan to the Royal Agricultural Society of New South Wales Cat Club (RASCC) for a breed with blue, brown, chocolate, and lilac colourings by using Burmese; and for a spotted tabby pattern by using the ticking gene of Abyssinian to go with a spotted ...
