Are tabby cats the only cat with stripes?
Answer:
"Tabby" is the only coat pattern found in domestic cats that can have stripes. The Tabby patterning is found on many cats: Dark markings (stripes, swirls, spots) on a paler background. The stripe colour is solid (goes right to the hair root), but the background colour is banded with colour on each individual hair.
There are four basic types of tabby (ticked, mackerel, classic, spotted) with variations on each of these types, and the Mackerel pattern usually has stripes all over the body, whereas a Classic pattern usually just has stripes on the tail and legs, with swirls and blotched patterns on the flanks.
