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 ...
A 2010 study suggests that spotted coats are caused by the modification of mackerel stripes, and may cause varying phenotypes such as "broken mackerel" tabbies via multiple loci. If the genes are Sp/Sp or Sp/sp the tabby coat will be spotted or broken. If it is an sp/sp gene, the tabby pattern will remain either mackerel or blotched.
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.
GCCF recognizes four variants of tabby: classic, mackerel, spotted and ticked. [8] Bicolor pattern: Recognized by GCCF and CFA. [6] [8] The bicolor pattern is created by the addition of a white spotting gene to any of the other accepted colors/patterns. The cat will have white on its belly, on the legs/paws, and in an inverted "V" on the face.
Since a large variety of coat patterns exist within the various cat breeds, the cat is an excellent animal to study the coat genetics of hair growth and coloration. [10] Several genes interact to produce cats' hair color and coat patterns.
First to come was the black mackerel tabby Leo. Pluto, the little ginger tabby kitten, was just supposed to be a foster cat. Abandoned by his mother at only two weeks old, things were rough for ...

This tabby cat didn't stop scratching for several seconds, so it's safe to say he tried his hardest. Whether or not he thought he reached his ear is an entirely different story.
