Sokoke coat colors and patterns
Every recognized color in every registry is a tabby. GCCF registers the brown blotched tabby (SOK n 22) and the ivory, blue-eyed Snow (SOK n 22 33). FIFe recognizes one color; CCA-AFC two. A blue/grey form exists as a bred but unrecognised variant, the sourced answer to 'grey Sokoke' searches. 'Sokoke tabby' is therefore an accurate description of the entire breed. Our identification page teaches the pattern detail that separates it from an ordinary classic tabby.
