Ticked Abyssinian Cat Names

An Abyssinian naming list should account for fine ticking instead of assuming broad tiger stripes. Sienna, Coco and Hickory suit different warm shades; Mirage is an indirect image for the changing appearance of the coat.

CFA requires distinct bands of ticking on Abyssinian hairs and penalizes leg barring and tail rings. CFA Abyssinian breed standard.
