I call this pose the Synchronized Swimmer

I agree that is a great pose

Yes, I would say your kitty has broken mackerel tabby pattern.

This is how a judge explained it to me once -
A mackerel would have obvious lines on shoulders. If there are no spots on the shoulders and the lines are broken rib to belly then it’s a mackerel.
If there are spots on shoulders and the rest of the body appears to be broken lines, then the cat is spotted.

Ah, shoulders are even more important than the sides. Tx, good to know!

 

[Nebaug]

Thank you all. I’m glad that I know, just to know
and that cat is always in that kind positions and I can’t change that sectional because of him, that is his ‘canyon’ since the day he walked in our home . I call him stretch limo …
