DRCats with a tabby coat pattern usually have a little pattern across their foreheads resembling the letter M, or a broken up version of one. Nora has more of a torbie and white coat as she has quite a bit of orange and white in amongst her tabbiness!
There are many sweet myths and legends surrounding the origin of this M, including that it stands for Mau, the ancient Egyptian word for cat. It’s actually simply down to the tabby patterning gene but I love researching all the different stories about features of cats like this one. Do you have a story about the tabby ‘M’?
