Are tigers are black cats with orange stripes or an orange cat with black stripes ?

Answer 1

Orange with black stripes. If you look carefully, the stripes come down from the spine and around the belly, but they don't loop all the way around, you can often see the ends.

Answer 2

They are orange with black stripes. Unless they are overwhelmingly black, then they would be black with orange stripes. I saw a cat like that, he was absolutely Beautiful,

Answer 3

they're cats with both black and orange stripes. if you think of an animal with fur/skin as a blank canvas (say albino, a white breed), then both the orange and the black are mutations that allow for colour and patterns.

don't think of one colour over the other, they occur at the same time.

Answer 4

It would depend on if their skin is black or white underneath. Maybe they are white cats with orange and Black stripes!!

Answer 5

They are cats with orange and black stripes.

your question assumes that there is a "base coat" of fur with an overlay of a different colour, this isn't the case.

Answer 6

It depends on how you look at the fur. They might be black with orange strips or orange with black strips! The world may never know...

Answer 7

I would think that the genes would determin what area is colored with orange or black.
