Tabbies. We love tabbies! Tabbies are probably the most common type of homeless cats we see. Tabbies come in lots of colors. The most common is the brown or brown/grey tabby, which generally has brown, black and grey blended together. You can also have grey tabbies, orange tabbies, and cream or buff tabbies.
When learning about cat genetics it's probably a wise idea to start where the domestic cat started, with the tabby gene. The tabby gene is an amazingly diverse gene that can cause a variety of coat patterns, the most familiar of which is the striped tiger pattern we can see on many domestic cats, both pure-bred and not. Tabby comes in four distinct types. There are mackerel tabbies, classical tabbies, ticked tabbies, and spotted. Tabby can also be mixed with other marking genes to create cats that display both (i.e. tabby calicos, pointed tabbies, tabbies with white on their coat.) Below I will describe each.
