The European Wild Cat, Felis Sylvestris, has tabby markings as do many examples of the African Wild Cat, Felis Lybica, while others with spotted or agouti (brindled) fur are variations of the tabby stripe. The Wild Cat vertical tiger stripes, from the backbone to the belly, are only one of the patterns recognized by cat-show judges and clubs as a tabby, as well called as mackerel pattern. The other, which they call the standard or blotched tabby, is a more horizontal pattern with three stipes down the spine and an oyster shaped whorl on the flanks. In England the tabby used to be known as Cyprus Cat, suggesting an origin in the eastern Mediterranean. Its pattern is similar to that of watered silk, or taffeta, which is not surprising for both words, taffeta and tabby are said to be derived from Attibiya, the name of district in Baghdad famous for producing that kind of silk. Both kinds of tabby have rings around the tail, bars on the legs, chains across the chest and delicately pencilled markings on the face and forehead. By the middle of the seventeenth century the tabby was already common in Europe where it is seen more frequently than the tiger stripe.
