Black "stockings"!


This is really a question - I noticed that smokytopaz's Rajah has black "stockings" on the rear of his hind legs. My Kizzy has the same. Can anyone enlighten me as to where genetically these come from? Does Kizzy have Bengal in her ancestry somewhere, or does it come from somewhere else???

Angie, as I recall Sultan, my Aby had those too, as well as the black "racing stripe" on his back. I have no idea where they come from........am not exactly sure what search terms to use; might do a Google later when it's slow on here.

Re: Black "stockings"!


I had laid a little bet with myself that someone might come up with a word beginning with "C" or even "D" ..........

OK Angie, I give up ..... been trying to think of what you're alluding to with "C" and "D" and cannot come up with anything ......
