The main pattern as such, is the so called ticked tabby. Or wild colored tabby.  No so common although surely one of the oldest and natural.

There is a variation of the Abyssynians who has this pattern.

In his case, he has white too.  Thus, ticked tabby and white.   The orange color I guess is a rufism, its not counted as a real color so to speak.

The look alike to a breed baffles me.

How old is he, is he heavy set by nature or by his habits and food??

Good luck!  @EddieER

Wow thanks! The tickled tabby and white actually strikes a good resemblance to her! She's 6 years old and the more she's aged she seems to be naturally heavy set, I've tried diet foods and exercise/playing more and it doesn't make a difference.

I agree very beautiful brown ticked tabby :D

I think with his chunky, cobby body shape and round face he reminds me most of a British Shorthair. ;)

Well thanks to these comments I have an idea that she's a   ticked tabby mixed, but mixed with what I wonder?

Where do you think her shorter ears, white streak/paws, flat face and chubbiness comes from?

Oh wow! Maybe she is! I certainly see the British Shorthair resemblance in her face. :)
