I *want* to say mackerel. Your cat looks a lot like my Selene.

I think spotted, because her spots aren’t lined up like they would be if she was a broken mackeral tabby.

Your cat is very cute! And their colors are quite similar.

I asked a few times about the appearance of my cats, thank you again for answering me, I'm asking again because she doesn't seem to be a "brown mackerel tabby Domestic Shorthair", to me, she looks like a Silver spotted tabby domestic shorthair, do you agree? Thank you again for all your hard work!

I agree that she looks like a silver- sometimes it can be hard to tell with the lighting, so having several pictures was helpful. She’s a very pretty girl!
Beautiful cat! Have you entered him/her in the giveaway for DNA testing? My cat also has spots and stripes and a dark streak down her back. She is brown and white but sometimes looks grey. Her eyes change green to brown

I didn't, but I'm thinking about the DNA analysis, she will give birth the next month, both parents got two recessive genes, and she looks totally different sometimes, her eyes look like they are golden, but they are completely green...

Her eye color changed a lot, she's a year old now, but she still seems to change her color a lot, but that's probably a mutation, cats can look like their ancestors, her brothers/sisters aren't silver, and she got way more agility compared to an ordinary cat. Also, her coat seems to be bronze too, red doesn't look like this.
These days I noticed that her coat doesn't look like mackerel tabby, she might have some of the Mau, she looked like that when she was younger.

They are so cute!
Agility is another trait. She jumps strait up but one time it looked like she did a full 360!

Sorry because I ask, but did your cat had a litter before?
If you mean her mom. I don't know because she was a stray.coco had a litter soon after she showed up on my porch again. She was born on my porch and disappeared 5 weeks old and came back a year later

Thank you, I am way too excited because she will give birth soon, I've seen a lot of tabby cats giving birth to kittens that looked way different compared to their parents and I'm still trying to figure out what they might look like.
Yes, very different. The bottom right is Cocos brother. Bottom left is Cocos litter. Other cats mom's second litter from a white cat with grey spots(her mate)
