It was only a few years ago when Buddy the Kat came to live with us that I
really became aware of tabby cats and the endless variations of that
designation.

Buddy is a classic mackerel tabby, and almost perfect in his markings, but
then he was born in Japan, so some craftsman must have painted him with a
watchful eye as to quality control.   Our other two cats, Izzy and Henri are
not so nicely painted.  They're pretty, but the paint is kinda slopped on.
Izzy has one sock lower than the other, and they ran out of stripes on one
side.

Henri has a nice little stripe painted down his nose . . .  uh sort of.  I
think whoever was doing the painting looked away, or Henri flinched or
something.
