*Tigrette

Tigrette cats originated by a crossing of Toygers, Bengals, Savannahs, Main Coons, Orientals and one American Curl. Tigrette cats have slightly curled ears. They are always mackerel tabby cats. The markings should be as dramatic as possible and should be highly contrasted. Their color could be brown, silver, lynx, mink or blue, but always whited or with a whited expression. The coat is short or long hair and glittered. The long hair is only semi-long. The belly is always white.

Tigrette are medium to large sized cats. Their eyes are small and round, and are green, copper or blue in color. The tail is long, rounded at the top, and always ends dark, depending on their color, from black to dark brown or dark grey.
