Traits

There are two default varieties of Tabby that can be further modified by other genes.

Tabby comes in Mackerel (McMc/Mcmc) or Classic (mcmc). Mackerel is thinner striping that typically runs perpendicular to the fur, whereas Classic is thicker, more swirled striping.

The Bengal Modifier (BmBm or Bmbm) is a dominant gene that alters Tabby markings. It turns the tabby markings into a two-tone marking and generally looks more like wild cat markings. Turns Mackerel into Braided, Classic into Marble, and Spotted into Rosettes. 

Examples:

• McMcBmBm: Braided, aka Mackerel Modified
• mcmcBmBm: Marbled, aka Classic Modified
• McMcSpSpBmBm: Rosettes, Aka Spotted Modified
  
  Edge cases:
• mcmcSpSpBmBm: Marbled (Rosettes Carried due to Spotted only modifying Mackerel)
• McmcBmBm: Braided (Marbled Carried)
• McMcSpsp: Braided/Rosettes mixture, Broken Mackerel Modified.
• McmcSpspBmBm: Braided/Rosettes mixture carying Marble!
