Is Your Cat a Tabby? Here’s How to Tell
Ever stared at your cat and wondered, “What kind of tabby chaos am I living with?” Spoiler: Tabby isn’t a breed, it’s a vibe. If your cat’s rocking tiger stripes and that iconic “M” on their forehead, congrats, you’ve got a tabby. But which kind?
Classic tabbies look like someone spilled coffee and tried to clean it up with a paintbrush—blotchy, swirly, sometimes bullseye. Mackerel tabbies? Think pinstripes, but for cats—thin, neat, running down from a single spine stripe. Ticked tabbies are the rebels: no body stripes, just individual hairs with bands of color, but still that tabby face. Spotted tabbies are basically polka-dot cats—broken stripes that turned into spots, any shape goes. And if your cat looks like a tabby crashed into a tortoiseshell, you’ve got a patched tabby: stripes, spots, and ginger chaos all in one.
Basically, if your cat looks like a tiny wild animal with attitude, you’re probably living with a tabby.
