Hi this is Quinn our new family member. We have noticed his markings and are wondering if he comes from the Bengal family?

These spots on the tummy are nice, but many tabbies do have spots on the tummy.  So they dont count for being called for a spotted cat.  Or spotted tabby if you so wish.

It must be spots on the upper side too...  How is he looking from aside?

(btw, bengals are tabbies them too, although their tabby patterns are very refined, as they are purebred since many generations, and just the most beautiful and carriers of beautiful patterns, went on in the breeding programme.

Also, for example classic tabby when in bengals, is called for marble...)

Thank you for your quick response! I have been researching and was just curious about him lol.. He has the glitter gold ends in his fur, mascara and facial markings. But also has the " m" in his forehead... He loves water!

He is a mackerel tabby... Or striped tabby or tigrered tabby as some say too...   So no fancy bengal pattern no.  "just" a very sweet and nice tabby, the salt of the earth.

But these glitter ends in his fur and mascara, may be a rest of a bengal heritage.  Im not expert on bengals and their  descendants to say it or deny...

THAT photo is interesting.  With this triangularish, rather prolonged muzzle, and these big ears,  he could have some exciting ancestry after all!

Say, an Oriental...

We will see better when is is adult, and has grown into his features.

You DO have a verry nice and beautiful tabby!
