Why do gingers look same?
@MercG There's one dominant orange gene (O) triggering all of this. Solid coloured cats have two recessive agouti genes hiding the tabby patterning, but the dominant O suppresses that. So all orange cats are also tabby-patterned. And there's only a handful of tabby coat patterns.

I think it’s adorable that there’s a very limited number of tabby coat patterns — so basically they’re dressed by TK Maxx? 😹
