Odd markings
I've adopted a stray with odd markings. He is basically a tabby, but his
stripes run the length of his body instead of vertically on his sides. Does anybody have any idea what breed may have given him longitudinal stripes? -- Dick |

Ordinarily a tortoise-shell loop will start around the front legs and loop under on the back legs. The loop can start forward or back of those spots, and if far enough away, it'd look like he just had long stripes. It's not any particular breed, just the vagaries of genetics. BLink |
