Agree? No. I’ve rarely seen striped cats and mostly “blotchy”

Cats achieved world domination bc they have a lot of sex and make a lot of kittens and find suckers who will wait on them hand and foot.

Agree? Nope. We’ve got a blotchy now, has a swirl that looks like a cinnamon bun. His litter-mate is a mackerel. We’ve had both blotchies and mackerels before. Most of the blotchies I’ve seen have been brown tabbies; greys and gingers tend to be mackerel, at least in my neighborhood.

Well, isn’t this refreshing…!!??

Would it be a safe assumption to think that most American cats came from England and perhaps Germany? I suppose that there might have been some early Spanish cats in Florida, but the majority would have come with the Jamestown crowd, et al

I can’t remember the last time I’ve seen a striped tabby cat. All blotchy around these parts, but I’ll keep an eye out Calico count as blotchy, right?

Oh, I didn’t think of things like calico and black-and-whites as blotchy, AliceH. I assumed it was strictly about stripey tabbies.

British kitties have round, flat faces. Like British blues, but across all colors.

Most of the American cats I’ve known have long, Egyptian faces.

I don’t think so. My late Maine Coon mix Arizona was definitely the “classic” tabby: stripes on head, legs, and tail, and the rest looked like a reddish-orange marble cake in the middle. With neat dashes of white on chest, paws, and belly. On the other hand, the late Tatiana Romanova, a purebred Siberian, was a brown mackerel tabby, all stripes.

Jes’ playin’, y’all…

so can we point out that Silvester didn’t come to the Americas prior to the English and Spanish? And that probably means no Celtic/Phoenician/Egyptian trading colonies prior to Mr. Columbus and his rude white male European entry into the ‘New World’?
