Normally, I wouldn't ask color questions, but I find myself growing increasingly interested in animal color genetics the more I spend time on animal forums. So, what kind of tabby would Child be?

He has stripes, rust mixed with silver and some creamy white coloring. He's all over the place. Toss in his chocolate-colored paw pads (literally chocolate colored!) and I've officially lost an idea of what to type into the search box when I'm looking up cat color pictures. I remember my aunt saying his mother was Egyptian Mau.... I don't think I see it.

Here's a few pictures that may (or may not) help.

Brown mackeral tabby, not silver and not a Mau. My avatar is a black silver, the silver version of a brown

I didn't figure he was Mau, he just doesn't look the part at all. But thanks! Mackeral... lol it's named after a fish.

He's a pretty cat. I hope you have many, many years together.
