This sample should be identical on both sides. The game colouring, also Agouti mentioned, is based on the 2 - to 3fold bright darkness tips of each individual hair. The hair point is always dark. All tabby have every a white chin, pigmented lips bordered nose, foot bundle and lids and darkens cord hair cushion.

The classical Tabby pattern (Classic Tabby), gives it also still the strip marking (Mackerel Tabby) or spot marking (Spotted Tabby), and this in innumerably possible color variations with and without white.

CLASSIC (BLOTCHED) TABBY:
With the Classic pulls itself a dark strip over the back, which reaches from the shoulder to the tail point. Parallel to it still another further strip runs on each side. Between these three strips the basic clay/tone is to be white clearly visible. At the flanks are marks in the basic colour, which must be circumscribed by dark strips clearly. On the lower chest and/or ventral side two rows are to be recognized points. The legs and the tail are regularly rings.

MACKEREL TABBY:
With the Mackerel pulls itself a dark strip over the back up to the tail. Outgoing from the backbone, strips without spirals or wheel design draw themselves narrow senkrechte over the flanks, which are to be clearly from each other defined. From the lower chest and/or ventral side as with the Classic Tabby in double lines runs points. The legs and the tail are regularly rings.

SPOTTED TABBY: (don´t allowed by CFA)
Also with these Tabby variant the design should be clear. The design on the cheeks deviates here, it consists of light eddies. Over the back a lighter strip pulls itself. On the body are numerous round or oval spots. These are separated from each other and the form are uniform. The spots should be numerous and balanced arranged.
