Informations générales

The coat pattern known as “Ticking” is one of the variations on a tabby coat in cats, where the typical stripes are blended into a more sandy, even colour. A ticked coat is one of the distinctive characteristics of the Abyssinian breed. The pattern is caused by a dominant mutation to the gene DKK4.

Caractéristiques cliniques

Ticked cats have a more evenly-blended coat pattern than other tabby cats, with a colour distribution often described as “sand-like” or “salt-and-pepper”. In some cases, faint striping (ghost stripes) may still be visible on the lower legs, face and tail. As with all forms of tabby, a ticked coat is only possible if the cat is not affected by the non-agouti mutation.

Additional Information

Coat colour is an intricate trait that involves a combination of multiple different genes. Testing for a range of different loci will give the most complete prediction of a cat’s coat colour genetics.
