THE SHORT-HAIRED TABBY AND WHITE CAT 



This variety really comprises the several Tabbies 

 with white markings, and although they do not receive 

 the same amount of favour at the hands of either fanciers 

 or judges usually accorded to those without white, many 

 of them are, in my opinion, very beautiful animals. 



You see Red, Dark, Brown, Grey and Silver Tabbies 

 and White, and it is a matter of taste which is the 

 prettiest. I incline to the Dark and the Silver, but have 

 had specimens of them all at one time or another. 



Of course, there must be uniformity and evenness in 

 the markings for show purposes ; a cat all white, with the 

 exception of some blotches or spots of tabby about it, 

 would not stand much chance of a prize in a good show. 



Tabby must be the predominent feature, and plenty 

 of it, the white being disposed uniformly and unmixed 

 with the tabby anywhere. 



What I like to see in them is a body all tabby, with 

 four white feet. I do not mind the hind feet being a little 

 more white than those in front, if they are alike.
