Breeds That Accept the Tabby Pattern
As mentioned before, many breeds today accept the tabby pattern in one variation or another. Indeed, a 21-pound "English Tabby" was documented in having appeared at the very first cat show in the world, held at the Crystal Palace in London in 1871. Here is a list of breeds which are allowed the tabby pattern in CFA:
* Abyssinian (ticked)
* American Bobtail
* American Curl
* American Shorthair (the Classic pattern)
* American Wirehair
* Birman (tabby points)
* Colorpoint Shorthair (tabby points called "Lynx Points")
* Egyptian Mau (the original spotted tabby)
* Exotic (shorthaired Persians)
* Javanese (Lynx Points)
* LaPerm (has its roots in a "barn cat")
* Maine Coon (probably the most popular pedigreed tabby cat)
* Manx
* Norwegian Forest Cat
* Ocicat - selectively bred to create the spots
* Oriental (with 112 tabby combinations!)
* Persian
* Ragdoll (Lynx Points)
* Rex (Devon, Selkirk, and Cornish)
* Scottish Fold
* Siberian (another "natural" breed of tabby cats)
* Singapura (ticked)
* Somali (longhair ticked)
* Turkish Angora (14 allowable tabby patterns/colors)
* Turkish Van (6 tabby patterns/colors)
dood.. any of these could be your cat! |
