From where does a tabby cat get its stripes? The same place cheetahs get their spots. A new study finds the same gene that is responsible for the cheetah's color patterns causes a tabby's stripes.

Cats with narrow stripes, the so-called 'mackerel' pattern, have a working copy of the gene. But if a mutation turns the gene off, the cat ends up with the blotchy 'classic' pattern, researchers said.
For example, a cheetah’s tail is long and skinny; in that narrow space, the spots coalesce into stripes. “A simple mechanism can create an amazing, diverse and rich variety of patterns,” says Seita ...
From where does a tabby cat get its stripes? The same place cheetahs get their spots. A new study finds the same gene that is responsible for the cheetah's color patterns causes a tabby's stripes.
Genetic patterns of the rare species of a cheetah are being studied to unravel their mystery. In the first study to identify a molecular basis of coat patterning in mammals, Feral cats in Northern ...
