Spotted Tabby – stripes break apart into spots (cheetah-like evolution). 4. Classic Tabby – swirls and marbling emerge, a genetic twist on the tabby base. 5. Ticked Tabby – banded hairs evolve, erasing most stripes (Abyssinian style). 6. Pointed – temperature-sensitive mutation (Siamese), a new type of mask over tabby. 7. Solid Mask – recessive mutation hides the tabby completely, uniform color. 8. Albino / Dominant White – evolution erases pigment itself, the rarest masks. and… 9. Melanistic – pigment maxed out (shadow panther energy 🐆🐈‍⬛)
