Within the spotted pattern you will hear many descriptive terms referring to the type of spotted pattern a cat or kitten might have. The most common terms are; Single-Spotting, Cluster Rosettes, Paw-Print Rosettes, Doughnut Rosettes, Arrowhead (Rosettes), Embryonic Rosettes.
In addition to a basic color, cats can have stripes, whirls, whorls, points and other markings. Interestingly, the color of your cat is not determined by her breed. There are, however, colors and/or patterns that may occur more often on certain breeds than in others.
