Tabby pattern alleles of the domestic cat.
The status of genetic variation of tabby pattern in the domestic cat is reviewed. Three alleles of the tabby locus (T) have been identified, namely, Abyssinian (Ta), striped (T), and blotched (tb). Additional data are presented for the assortment of these alleles. The Abyssinian is incompletely dominant to the striped and blotched alleles, whereas striped is completely dominant to the blotched.
