Body covered with fairly well defined patches of cream the face should have a cream blaze. Body covered with fairly well defined patches of red the face should have a red blaze. Warm rich golden-brown, ticked with black.

Warm, rich golden-brown ticked with black. (Often mistakenly called brown tabby because the bands of golden-brown on the black hairs make the 'black' areas appear brown) Ground colour warm golden-brown. The effect of the different colours on 'Tabby' (Spotted, Mackerel and Classic) and 'Ticked Tabby' are detailed below: Spotted, Mackerel and Classic tabby respond in much the same way to the different colours, but Ticked tabby is different due to the lack of solid markings. With any tabby, the named colour refers to the 'marking' colour rather than the base colour, so a Blue Tabby is one with blue markings. Side markings are 'blotches' of colour surrounded by broad rings. Vertical lines over back of head extend to shoulder markings which are in the shape of a butterfly with both upper and lower wings distinctly outlined and marked with dots inside outline. Frown marks on forehead form an intricate letter 'M'. Side markings come to blunt points on the chest. Upper legs evenly barred with bracelets coming up to meet the body markings.

Markings dense, clearly defined, and broad. Side markings come to points on the chest. Upper legs evenly barred with narrow bracelets coming up to meet the body markings. Markings dense, clearly defined, and all narrow pencillings. The difference between a ticked tabby and a solid-colour cat is that in a ticked tabby the body appears 'dusted' with the ground colour instead of being truly solid. The face and tail will show slight 'tabby striping' but the lower legs will have no 'marking' colour. Most of the body will appear the same colour, although the underside will be lighter.
#Ticked spotted tabby free
Lower legs have no 'marking' colour.īody hairs are ticked with various shades of marking colour and ground colour, but there is little grouping of like-coloured hairs, resulting in the cat being free of 'typical' tabby markings.


The markings on the face and forehead are typical tabby markings. On PF, the spotted tabby pattern does not vary dependant on the underlying tabby pattern, so Ticked, Mackerel and Classic Tabby can look the same. One type has the classic tabby pattern 'broken up' into spots, and the other one the mackerel tabby pattern. In 'real life', there are two types of spotted tabby cats. The different arrangements of bands group together to form tabby 'patterns', where the 'marking' colour forms a pattern over the 'ground' colour. Each individual hair will have two or three bands of each, but these bands can be arranged differently on different hairs ( see the 'Getting The Stripes Off The Body' section of this link). Tabby patterns are made up of a 'marking' colour and a 'ground' colour. If you know of a better image than any of those used, please let me know.
