The ticked tabby is marked by ticking of the body hair with various shades of the marking color and ground color, with the outer tipping the darkest and undercoat of the ground color. The body may exhibit a barely perceptible fine linear pattern resulting in a delicate tweed effect, but distinct stripes, spots or blotches are considered a fault.
The tail, legs and face will have tabby pencillings. Necklace tracings are also frequently seen in the well-marked specimen.
