? Mackerel tabby, chocolate classic tabby, brown mackerel tabby, black classic tabby, ghost or shadow mackerel tabby, tortoiseshell tabby. Which brings me to my question- are all cats tabby somewhere in their genetic makeup?? Beginning to wonder because I only have two out of ten that does not have a discernible tabby pattern.
Yes, tabby is the ancestral, default pattern for cats.

My darling Caitlin (mostly known as Katie or Katiekins) in her kittenhood, being Miss Ultra-Cute. I don't have too many photos of her online, I've never got around to scanning the many albums with pictures of her and the other four we had during the 90s.

Thank you! She was a beautiful cat all her life, and with So. Much. Catitude. :lol:

(That's Magnus, resident bully and constant client at the vet, on my lap, and Mamie, Magnus's most frequent target in the family, on the couch. Hadji and Freya were presumably elsewhere in the house.)

This picture says it all... a house full of love! I can see they know they are loved! Too bad Hadji and Freya weren't there too. Then it would have been a perfect picture with all of your beautiful babies!
Magnus is definitely eyeing Mamie in this picture lol and Mamie looking at Magnus like please, just don't lol

I have a wonderful tabby as my profile pic. I've never had a cat, but I've fostered many, all but one tabbies lol. The one on my profile is Ziggy.

Awwww it's official YAY FOR TIMMY!!!!! This is huge. I'm so glad he is finally a housecat.
I agree with tarasgirl06 tarasgirl06 "housecat" does have a lovely ring to it especially with Timmy and Housecat in the same sentence.
Name it & claim it!..... Poor little Bella was named something that meant " homely/ugly"- immediately I said " her name us BELLA" and she's beautiful...... everyone looked at me like" uh,okay?"
Here's Bella today-
