She has great markings!

She's beautiful! She's a true, honest to goodness Tabby, right? I know people call the stripey ones tabbies, but aren't true tabbies the ones like Majesty or Corkscrew - the ones with swirlies instead of stripies?

Either way, she's a real looker.

Majy is very pretty!
Here is some info on tabby markings!

The tabby can exhibit one of four sub-patterns:

Striped Tabby, where the cat has vertical stripes along its body. This is sometimes called a "Mackerel" pattern, because of the resemblance to a fishbone. In a show-quality striped tabby, the stripes should be whole and evenly spaced.

Blotched Tabby, where the two shades create a blotched pattern of rounded stripes and circles. This is also called a "marble" pattern.

Spotted Tabby, where the dark color appears in spots all over the agouti body. In a show-quality spotted tabby, the spots should be round and evenly spread.

Ticked Tabby, where there is only ticked agouti hair all over the body. There are no clear markings other than the tabby facemask. This pattern is typical in several breeds, such as the Abyssinian and the Singapura, but is otherwise rare.

Color variations

The tabby pattern shows itself in various colors. You can have tabbies in black, red, blue, chocolate, cream, and many other colors. Ticked tabbies usually come in red, ruddy, blue, and fawn shades.

The tabby pattern can also be found in combination with other color patterns. For instance, a cat can be a bi-color with a combination of red tabby and white. Calico cats can have patches of white, black, and tabby red. The tabby markings will show on the coloured patches. Tortoiseshell cats can have a special pattern in which the overall Tortoiseshell pattern is intermingled with tabby markings all over the body - this is sometimes referred to as a "torbie".

Colorpointed cats can also have tabby markings. These will show only on the darker parts of the cat's body - the face, legs, and tail. These tabby colorpoints are sometimes called "lynx" cats.
