Cat coat quiz
Think you know your cat coats? From stripes and spots to colors and genetics, some of these furry facts might surprise you! Put your knowledge to the test and see how many you can get right.
All white cats are albino
You're right!
Sorry, You've got it wrong...
Most white cats are not albino. Their white coat is usually caused by genes that prevent pigment from appearing in the fur. True albinism is much rarer and involves a lack of melanin throughout the body, often resulting in very pale skin and light-sensitive eyes.
All cats with stripes are tabbies
You're right!
Sorry, You've got it wrong...
Stripes are one of the defining features of the tabby coat pattern. Tabby patterns can vary, including classic swirls, mackerel stripes, spots, and ticked markings.
Two black cats can never have a kitten with a different coat color
You're right!
Sorry, You've got it wrong...
Two black cats can sometimes have kittens with other coat colors depending on the genes they carry. Recessive color genes can be passed down even when they aren’t visible in the parents.
Some cats have different colors on individual hairs
You're right!
Sorry, You've got it wrong...
Individual hairs can contain bands of different colors, creating patterns such as the distinctive ticked or agouti effect. This can give a cat’s coat a speckled, shimmering, or subtly striped appearance.
All orange cats have exactly the same shade of orange
You're right!
Sorry, You've got it wrong...
Orange cats can range from pale cream and ginger to rich reddish shades. Their exact coat color can vary depending on their genes and other genetic modifiers.
