Propaganda:

Black cats are sweeties. They are unfairly touted as superstitious and are consequently the least adopted and most abandoned color of cat. Give them some love!!!

black cats usually get a bad rap as unlucky and get abused due to superstition but they're adorable.

I have black cat. See? Him face. And I not dead today! Good luck!

My favorite pass time is taking low quality pictures of black cats because they look like blobs :3

these two babies (pics)

black cats are a classic and they're very cute and i know several some of my favourite cats on the planet are pure black

black cats are so funny they are just voids with mouths

Could you make a guide on how to differentiate between tabbies? :o

of course! here's a guide by our beloved messybeast, but I'll be going into it further below the cut!

a small guide on how the tabby gene works, because i feel it's appropriate:

the a locus/agouti is what causes patterning in a lot of mammals including cats. basically, it determines how black and red pigment is made. on tabbies, it causes hairs with alternating stripes of black and red pigment by affecting the different signals that cause pigment. so, one gene determines whether the cat is solid or tabby, and another determines the pattern

ok! going to be going over common patterns first! first up, the mackerel tabby:

named because some absolute legend thought their vertical stripes looked like the stripes on a mackerel fish:

this is one of the most common tabby patterns! they're characterized by their vertical stripes all along their bodies. also come in the broken mackerel variety, which is pretty self explanatory:

the broken mackerel pattern isn't a breeder-recognized pattern but i recognize it so whatever. not to be confused with the spotted tabby (which i'll be covering in a hot sec)

next up is the classic (or blotched) tabby!

also common, and notable for the "bullseye" or "spiral" marking on their sides. these can be confused with the marbled tabby (which i'll also be covering later)

next is the spotted tabby! characterized by round-ish spots following a vertical pattern

the difference between the spotted and broken mackerel tabby is that the spots tend to be distinctly broken up and don't form lines, but it can be difficult to tell the difference sometimes!

next common pattern is the ticked tabby. these guys have no visible striping on their flanks, but stripes on their faces, legs, and tails. the fur on their flanks is "ticked," with the agouti fur that is between the stripes on other tabbies covering their entire flanks.

so! those are the tabby patterns that can be found most commonly and in random breeding. that doesn't mean these are specific to random-bred cats, obv, but are the ones you're most likely to encounter.

these next ones are a lot less common and tend to be breed-specific, especially to domestic/wild hybrids. before we continue, here's a good statement from the american association of feline practitioners on the ethical problems with hybrid cats. if you're not aware of these problems, i'd really recommend giving it a read! with that being said, i also won't be highlighting early-generation hybrids (hybrids with very recent wild ancestry). ok, continuing!

rosetted tabby! most famously found on the bengal!

marbled tabby, also known from the bengals:

it can look pretty similar to the classic tabby, but it's derived from the "twilight charcoal" pattern inherited from the asian leopard cat.

the candle-flame or braided tabby, found largely on toygers:

this is a twilight charcoal modification of the mackerel tabby. agouti hairs grow between the stripes to create a "hollow" appearance

i've decided to leave a few minor patterns out because they're pretty rare and largely found on uncommon hybrids and tumblr won't stop trying to eat the images i'm attaching so! bye
