Brazilian tabby cat - "Lion" |
The paws are large. Are they polydactyl? They are a neutral gray. The gray extends up the forelimb where dense banding starts. The banding leads to a heavily "ticked" coat (salt and pepper appearance as for the Abyssinian cat).
The back of this cat is covered by what breeders might call a "grizzled' coat (see a melanistic Chausie with a grizzled coat). Ticking with black. It almost has a melanistic look about it. See the photo below.

This is a bit technical and probably boring! Ticking is the banding of individual hair strands in yellow and black caused by the agouti gene. Tabby cats can be extremely attractive. See also the most beautiful stray cat?
