QUESTIONS TO THE CAT EXPERTS:

Question:
I have a cat she has this sort of m shape on her forehead but I'm not sure what type she is. Do you know?
Secilee

Cats that have a "M" mark on its forehead are usually called tabbys.

A tabby is a cat with a distinctive coat that features stripes, dots, or swirling patterns. Tabbies are often mistakenly assumed to be a breed of cat. In fact, the tabby pattern is a naturally occurring feature that may be the original coloration of the domestic cat's distant ancestors. Tabby coloration is found in many breeds of cat, as well as among the general 'moggy' (mixed-breed or mongrel) population. When cats are allowed to breed randomly, the coloration of the population tends toward brown mackerel tabbies with green eyes, leading geneticists to believe that this is the common wild phenotype of the domestic cat.
