Terrific Tabbies!
They have stripes, dashes, swirls and spots. They come in grey, brown, orange, and even black! White is the only color that can not have tabby markings.
Tabbies are not a breed, but a coat pattern that is thought to be related to the coloration of the domestic cat's direct ancestor, the African Wildcat. But our sweet tabbies are not at all fierce (unless, of course, you are a catnip mouse!)
Did you know the legend of how tabbies got the distinctive 'M' pattern on their forehead is a Christmas story? It is said that the baby Jesus was cold and Mary asked the manger animals to move in closer to warm Him. The manger was simply too small for the other animals, but a little tabby cat came in and nestled next to the Baby, and soothed Him with purring and warmth. Mary was so grateful, she bestowed her own initial, "M" on the cat's forehead.
We think of our little tabbies as 'almost angels'. Come visit them and see if you don't agree:
