sorry to say this rhazes, but a ticked cat is a tabby cat. it is just a variation of the pattern. the explanation can be found on the page 1 of the above article. but i put it here for easy reference

Types of Tabby Patterns

Classic: This pattern usually has whorls ending in a "target" on the side of the cat. Many American Shorthair cats demonstrate this pattern. The cat pictured in this chart has very high color contrast, which shows his whorls clearly.
Mackerel (striped): This is by far the most common pattern, so much so that some people think it should have received the title "Classic." Mackerel tabbies have striped rings around their tail and legs, a "necklace" of stripes on the front of their chests, and bands of solid or broken stripes running down the sides of their bodies. They will have the darker color in spots running in two lines across their tummies (called "vest buttons.") The ginger kitten in the chart shows an example of broken stripes. You can click on the image to see a larger version. The same cat (our Jaspurr) is shown above as an adult.
Spotted: The Ocicat and the American Bobtail are good examples of spotted tabby pattern, although some Moggies will also demonstrate this color pattern. The American Bobtail in the chart illustrates the spotted tabby pattern to perfection. (This cat also illustrates the American Bobtail section of my Breeds Snapshots.)
Agouti (Ticked): Most tabby cats will have agouti hairs as part of their pattern. If you look closely, you'll see different bands of color down the length of the cat's individual hairs. Cats with an all-ticked pattern almost shimmer in the sunlight, because of the color variation. The Abyssinian in the chart is a classic example of a ticked tabby or agouti pattern.

in my whole life: i've seen a lot of mackerel and ticked tabbies and yeah, i have quite a bunch at home too

Yeah, look spotted but the top part nearing the head, it's stripey.
Hmm.....

I would call him Red Spotted Tabby Since the pattern is more obvious on the body instead of neck or front legs.

I mean if you look at a tabby cat, I think you see the body first? (well maybe this could be human nature too)

Back to the Q: was Muezza an Abyssinian?
I found this online.



In Arabia, where cats have been sacred since the sixth century, there springs the myth of Muhammad's cat Muezza, the first nine-lived cat in history. It is said that when the cat was asleep on the Sleeve of Muhammad's robe, rather than disturb the cat Muhammad cut off the sleeve so the cat could sleep on.

When Mohammad returned, Muezza bowed in a gesture of appreciation. Mohammad then stroked Muezza three times down the length of the back, which, according to some myths, is the thing that puts cats safely on their feet when they fall.

Noted for its intelligence, this slender-bodied cat enjoys a good romp, and is equally famed for its ability to play. The cat is affectionate, soft voiced, and friendly. Its tail, long and tapered, curves back to the days of Solomon and Sheba. So legendary an animal must know things that we cannot fathom. There is an African expression: "What you don't know is wiser than you."

The Earliest Abyssinian taken to Britain was called "Zula". Its owner was the wife of captain Barrett-Lennard and its picture appeared in a book published in 1874. Zula bears little resemblance to today's Abyssinians.

The source of the name is not because Ethiopia, formerly Abyssinia, is thought to be the original home of these cats, but because the first "Abyssinian" exhibited at a show in England was reported to have been imported from that country.

The cats came to Europe with soldiers returning from the Abyssinian War in 1868, In Britain they were crossed with British Shorthairs to create the modern version and quickly became recognised as a competitive breed.

Aby owner describes these cats as; "A very people-oriented cat. Not a lap cat - but a cat that likes to be with people, a cat that wants to know what you are doing - that wants to help. There is probably no breed anywhere more loyal than the Aby. Once you have acquired an Aby as a companion, you will never be able to complain that no one understands you. Abys are very good at training people to do just what they want them to do."

Ticked hairs with two or more bands of colour comprise the coat, The overall colour is ruddy, but crosses have also created red and blue varieties. Italian breeders have developed a similar breed called the Wild Abyssinian.
