Mackerel tabbies are also called 'fishbone tabbies,' probably doubly named after the mackerel fish. These cats are known as golden tabbies. Black grizzled tabbies are unique to the Chausie breed among domestic cats. Newer varieties such as ticked tabbies, shadeds and darker points are also being bred. As the kittens get older, they begin to look more and more like tabbies. However, they are tabbies with black on black markings. "Orange" is epistatic to "nonagouti", so all red cats are tabbies. So a "TT" genotype as well as "TT" and "TT" genotypes will be ticked tabbies. Tabbies, or female werecats are rare and therefore valuable to the werecat community. Classic tabbies have thick stripes, bands and/or bars on the legs, tail, and cheeks. Mackerels are the most common among tabbies. The school's athletic teams were originally known as the Tabbies, after the acronym TAB.
