Kitty Genetics
This site is pretty good for basics.
I had no idea how it all worked. I just knew that there's heaps more tabbies than other colours in shelters and pounds! I heard on SBS a few days ago that when cats breed uncontrolled and/or live wild, they tend to revert back to tabby or ginger, therefore those colours are fairly common.
My first cat was white so I have always loved white cats. My second was dilute ginger (champagne) so I love them too. My next (currently geriatric) cat is a tabby with a Himalayan seal point mother.
Then we were given the lilac point ragdoll last year who I just adore. And the most recent mummy cat and her babies to come into my care are all tabbies with white sox and markings: gorgeous!!
