tabby stripes
Cat coat pattern
Tabby stripes are the distinctive markings on a tabby cat's coat—parallel bands of darker fur against a lighter background, typically running along the body and tail.
The pattern extends metaphorically to anything with similar banding: The sunset painted the sky in tabby stripes of orange and purple.
