Tabby

The Tabby Cat is perhaps the most universally recognised and deeply familiar cat in the world — not a single breed, but a coat pattern so iconic and so timelessly beautiful that it has become the very image most people picture when they think of a cat — and this gallery is a wonderful celebration of that enduring, natural charm. With their distinctive markings ranging from bold mackerel stripes and classic swirling whorls to delicate spotted and softly ticked patterns, all rendered in a rich palette of oranges, browns, greys, and silvers, Tabby Cats offer an astonishing variety of looks while sharing that same unmistakable, characterful appeal that makes every one of them a joy to photograph.
