Tabby cat or Sp/Sp together with Mc/mc and Mc/Mc and A/a and A/A. The Ticked tabby pattern is on a different gene locus than the Mackerel and Classic tabby patterns, and is epistatic to the other patterns. A dominant mutation, "T / t", masks any other tabby pattern, producing a non-patterned, or agouti tabby, with virtually no stripes or bars. If the Ticked tabby pattern gene is present, any other tabby pattern is masked. Cats homozygous for the ticked allele ("T / T") have less barring than cats heterozygous for the ticked allele. When a cat of this genetic make-up is selectively
Mackerel eaten on the day of capture, unless properly refrigerated or cured. Mackerel preservation is not simple. Before the 19th-century development of canning and the widespread availability of refrigeration, salting and smoking were the principal preservation methods available. Historically in England, this fish was not preserved, but was consumed only in its fresh form. However, spoilage was common, leading the authors of "The Cambridge Economic History of Europe" to remark: "There are more references to stinking mackerel in English literature than to any other fish!" In France mackerel was traditionally pickled with large amounts of salt, which allowed it to be
