silver tabby

Gray-striped cat variety

A silver tabby is a cat with a coat pattern combining tabby markings—stripes, spots, or swirls—with a silver or white undercoat that makes the darker pattern stand out dramatically.

The silver comes from a gene that inhibits pigment at the hair's base.

Her silver tabby had the classic M-shaped marking on its forehead.
