Does the DNA of a cat completely determine the coat pattern? I'm thinking of tabby stripes, or the exact mix of orange and black on a tortoiseshell, or the exact placement of white on a cat with the white spotting gene, etc.
I.e. if you have two cats with the same DNA (identical twins -- does that happen in cats?), would they look identical? Or would their patterns vary in some random way?
