Hello everyone, I Just adopted this stray who was wondering around my house, I believe he was dropped off and abused, because he had scars all around his neck and is still terrified of plastic bags. thanks to science diet and me spoiling him, he is doing much much better!! I was wondering what kind of striped pattern he has, i havent seen to many tabbies with some spotting. I love his look, and now he is sooooooo spoiled!! thanks to anyone that can help.

thanks, i have never heard of a spotted tabby until he adopted me. (he would rub himself on the window and roll on the ground when i opened the door, i gave in and let him in.) he's recovering right now because he was neutered on monday.

Spotted tabbies are probably the least common tabby type. Glad to hear he has been desexed.

They do happen. Basically that's what an Ocicat is although they have been selectively bred to intensify the spotting as much as possible.

Congratulations on rescuing a beautiful baby!
