Well I'll be darn!! A patch tabby huh? I never knew that before. When I went back at looked at my cats pictures I noticed that almost all of them have that light ring around their eyes. I knew you would be a fountain of information! Thank you very much!
I have learned that Maine Coons come in a huge variety of beautiful colors. I'm guessing that my boogers have a lot of Maine Coon in them along with no telling what else! It doesn't really matter though because I love my mutts!
Would Pete's father have to have been a cameo since the mom is a tabby or is this just a gene that can pop up at any time? I know that I have looked at lots of websites and I haven't seen very many with the cameo coloration. If I'm asking too many questions just tell me to shut up! You had asked if Pete's brother Pepper Jack was a silver and my answer is "I don't know"! I thought he was just a plain old tabby cat!! See that's why I started bugging you! I may have to start studying up on some of this because I find it very interesting.
Maybe after the holidays settle down you can post some more pictures of that incredibly gorgeous Moses and I'll post some more of Pete. I really am becoming a cameo nut!!! But I will always be mom to a bunch of mutts!!
Thank you again for the info. I'm going searching again today for more patched tabby and cameo information.
