Now, sokoke, alike almost any other breed, is not looks but ancestry.  If you dont have good proofs your cat is a sokoke, he isnt not sokoke.  Nor bengal mix.   :)

And itsn nothing peculiar with that.  Its just a couple of procents of all the cats whom DO belong to a breed, or are fresh mixes thereof...

What you can possibly  say about most paperless cats, is if a cat is  a look alike  of some breed - that is quite common.  

And yes, now and they we  get convinced a paperless cat MUST be a purebred, even if he hasnt no papers.  Yes that  happens now and then.

So. my guess is your cat is a domestic.   His pattern is classical tabby - not so common, the striped mackerel tabby is more common.

Another names for the classical tabby is marbled or blotched tabby.

Your cat may not be sokoke but is a beautiful example of classic tabby.  Wonderful markings.
