Purrr! The domestic tabby markings have become more refined over the centuries. Selection, I suppose. The African wild cat markings, while resembling tabby markings, tend to be more haphazard & blotchy. Also brownish rather that grey. A lot of domestic cats around here are half African wild cat because domestic Queens mate with wild Toms on their evening jaunts.

Hope you enjoy.  Comments welcome.
