Humans have stripes too you just can’t see them.

"The lines seemed to be present at birth and didn't follow any other known body system such as vessels or nerves. Instead, they create sweeping chest arcs, mountainous shapes across the back, and swirling butt loops."

And cats can see them!

Edit: nice, I got corrected. Actually learned something.

"Contrary to some internet rumors, they can't actually be seen by other animals either (no, your cat cannot see your secret stripes)."

NGL, a part of me wished they were visible, but I'm afraid we'd just invent new forms of racism.

I have many visible stripes. But that’s just because I’m covered in tattooes from the neck down.
