So many of you say tabbies but all cats are tabbies underneath it is jsut the presence of the Agouti gene that makes them a visual or 'True Tabby'. Except in the reds/gingers!!! They can look like a 'True Tabby' but in fact be a self cat with no Agouti gene or the can look like a red/ginger self and be a 'True Tabby' with the Agouti gene. This is down to the way colour is laid down on the hair shaft. Just a touch of genetics!!

Ah youve lost me - lOl
I got my first cat a year ago & just got the third two weeks ago. Time was never right to get one before
I didnt even realise a ginger/red cat was a tabby - lol
Dogs now - well thats different, know my stuff there
Amber is unusual - she is blue with mackeral tabby markings
Tim is a dilute cream mackeral tabby - a breeder on another forum told me that
As for the wee one we thought she was a tortie & white but brcause she has some ginger/red tabby markings, that makes her a Torbie. She has certainly a real "big" character in a very tiny body
