tabby cat
I have never heard the word 'brindled' before. I found that it exists in the dictionary, but I am sure almost nobody would know what it means. The word every English speaker uses is 'tabby'.

Perhaps you could tell me in return if there is a difference in meaning between mourovaná and mourovatá. My sources only give mourovatá.

: "Tabby" is used for cats. "Brindle" is used for dogs (usually black and brown tiger stripes).
