sometime my friends told me like, i had a brown tabby and a gray cat.
then i said, no no, noa was a black tabby and ash was a gray tabby.
but.. yeah? are they really?
look at ash on the below pic, she doesn’t have stripes or spots on her body fur.
what about noa, her coat is more like brownish color.. ouch.. (*_*)

((they are sooo cute together. awwww >_<!!))

anyway! according to the CAT color study..
it has four tabby patterns; classic tabby, spotted tabby, ticked tabby, and mackerel tabby.
i guess noa is more like a mackerel tabby.
(The “mackerel tabby” has narrow stripes that run in parallel lines down its sides.
Many people refer to pet cats with this mackerel tabby pattern as being a “tiger” cat.)
i called her as a black tabby, but there is no such thing, she is a brown tabby.
(The “brown tabby” has black stripes on a brownish or grayish ground color.
The black stripes may be coal black, or a little bit brownish.)
also noa has some white patterns, she is a mitted cat, and has a bib and buttons.

okay.. from now on i’d say,,
noa is a brown mackerel tabby has mittens, a bib, and buttons.

what about you, ash? are you a tabby kitten? let’s see… it says..
“All tabbies have thin pencil lines on the face, expressive markings around the eyes,
and a tabby “M” on the forehead.”

yes!! you got a tabby “M”!!

she is more like a ticked tabby.
(A “ticked tabby” (also called “Abyssinian tabby” or “agouti tabby”) does not have either stripes or spots on its body fur. This is the color of the Abyssinian cat, but it also appears in non-purebreds and does not mean the cat is Abyssinian.)

here is surprise.. she is a BLUE tabby!! (*o*)
(The “blue tabby” has gray stripes on a grayish or buff ground color. The gray stripes may be a dark slate gray, or a lighter blue-gray.)
ouch (+_+)..coz… papan and i named based on their coat colors..
noa’s real name is noir; black. ash is ash, means gray color.. well.. still they are noa and ash. it doesn’t really matter.. (^_^;)

okay so, ash is a blue tacked tabby has mittens, a bib, and buttons.

noa and ash: so… are you happy now?
maman: yeah.. silly.. (^ω^;) i.. i just want to know more about you!! (>_<)
noa and ash: don’t worry, you know us very well, so make our food!! neooow!!
