The tabby coat pattern and colour on cat can be incredibly varied! The "Tabby" term means dark markings (stripes, swirls, spots) on a paler background. The stripe colour is solid (goes right to the hair root), but the background colour is banded with colour on each individual hair.
There are four basic types of tabby (ticked, mackerel, classic, spotted) with variations on each of these types. For instance, the Mackerel pattern usually has stripes all over the body, whereas a Classic pattern usually just has stripes on the tail and legs, with swirls and blotched patterns on the flanks. The Marbled pattern, for example, is a variation of the Classic pattern.
As well as patterns, there are many colours to the Tabby coat; from blue, brown, red and silver.
