Will the stripes stay?

Columbus, OH(Zone 6a)

Hey, all. I've never had a black kitty before, and was wondering if someone knew about patterns on a black cat's fur.

Pooka has what looks like tabby striping on his tail and rear legs. Will he lose those as he grows up? Also (don't know if you can see it in this picture) he has splotches of smoky grey fur on his body, particularly on his side and throat. He also has to strips of grey fur on his cheeks, which stand out like a little halo around his head.

I think his coloring is very beautiful, but I'm not sure if I'm just seeing his "kitten fluff" colors, or if he will keep these markings. Does anyone know?
