A salmiak cat is a domestic cat of any breed which have a distinct coat colour called the salmiak fur pattern, salty liquorice, or Finnish mutation. The most commonly used name for the coat colour, 'salmiak', is derived from the Finnish word for salty liquorice, as the appearance of the salmiak pattern is a black tuxedo pattern with flecks of white, resembling salty liquorice.
This coat colour was originally documented by Finnish researchers in 2024. It is noted to be caused by a recessive allele at the KIT gene, similar to many other white patterns on cats and other domestic animals.
