00:00The art of cat coat patterns a portrait in fur. A calico cat can look painted in
00:06orange black and white. Inside homes, shelters, windowsills and sunny rooms,
00:12cat fur patterns turn ordinary naps into moving artwork. The tabby cat carries
00:17stripes, swirls, spots and a forehead mark that many owners recognize
00:22instantly. The classic tabby shows bold marble-like patterns across its sides
00:28like dark curves moving through soft fur. The mackerel tabby wears narrow tiger
00:34like stripes often running down the body from a darker spine line. The spotted
00:39tabby carries broken marks across its coat giving the cat a wild leopard-like
00:44look. The calico cat shows orange black and white patches usually appearing in
00:49females because of coat color genetics. The tortoiseshell cat blends black, orange,
00:55brown and gold into a mottled coat that looks different on every cat. The
01:00tuxedo cat wears a black and white pattern that can look like a tiny suit on
01:04paws. The color point cat shows darker ears, face, paws and tail often seen in
01:11Siamese style coats. The smoke cat carries pale roots beneath darker fur creating a
01:17shifting silver look when it moves. These patterns share one simple truth. Fur can
01:23make every cat look like a one-of-one portrait. When a patterned cat stretches in sunlight,
01:29every stripe, patch and spot suddenly comes alive.
