Howís it work?

• ìAbyssinianî (Ta) is incompletely dominant to ìmackerel tabbyî (T).

• Both Ta and T are dominant to ìclassic tabbyî or ìblotched tabbyî (tb)

  • A cat with, say, the Ttb genotype would be ìmackerel tabbyî
  • A cat with TaT or Tatb will have faint stripes on the legs and tail, because of the incomplete dominance. (This pattern is called ìticked tabbyî.)
