The Most Striped: Top 5 Cat Breeds With Pronounced Stripes on Their Fur

No one will argue that one of the most popular cat colors is striped.
The T-gene (also known as the mackerel or tiger gene) is responsible for the striped pattern on a cat's coat, but rather than go into detail, here are five cat breeds in which the gene appears to be dominant.
Kurilian Bobtail
You can recognize a representative of this breed not only by its clearly visible stripes, but also by its short tail.
European Shorthair
You may also have come across the name of this breed as Celtic. Striped European shorthair cats are distinguished by their elegance, grace and irresistible desire to communicate with their owner.
Siberian
In the Siberian breed, three main varieties of this color can be distinguished, among which we are interested, of course, in the brindle.
Toyger
These creatures can easily be confused with a miniature tiger, however, unlike their wild relatives, domestic toygers are distinguished by their peacefulness and calmness.
Asian Tabby
These "stripes" have Persian, Abyssinian and Burmese blood in them. Maybe that's why they are so amazingly affectionate, peaceful and able to get along with other pets?
