fur pattern
Animal hide pattern
Fur pattern refers to the arrangement of colors, markings, and textures in an animal's coat.
In cats, common fur patterns include tabby, calico, and tortoiseshell.
In dogs, patterns like brindle, merle, and piebald describe how colors distribute across the body.
The term applies to both natural markings and breed standards: The kitten had a classic tabby fur pattern with bold stripes.
