The pelage is between smoky gray and lion-like ochraceous, most intense on the dorsum and between white and near-cream on the venter. Over this basic color are distributed numerous black spots about 15 to 20 mm in diameter which tend to group in the central parts of the dorsum two by two so as to enclose lighter areas. The nape and back of the neck have three to seven longitudinal dark lines. The legs have transverse bands and the tail has narrow bands that are quite variable in their distribution. Three subspecies are illustrated in

The species has a diploid number of 36 chromosomes. The autosomal complement includes 34 metacentric or subrnetacentric chromosomes but no acrocentries. A pair of small submetacentric chromosomes designated E 1 are satellites. The X chromosome is nearly metacentric and moderately small and the Y chromosome is a small submetacentric. The karyotype differs from that of the domestic cat in lacking acrocentrics in the group designated F and in having an extra pair of metacentrics in the group designated C. This karyotype is identical to that of the tiger cat,
