Speaking of tabbies, is it common for them to lose their pattern as they get older? My Yue was pretty obviously a tabby when she was younger, but the more I look at her now (at the age of almost-six), the more she just looks like an orange cat with some stripes on her face and tail...

Well, orange cats are always tabbies, but the stripes can be quite subtle. You'll probably always be able to see the tabby "M" on her forehead.
She might not be a tabby! The genes that stop the tabby pattern showing (non agouti) don't work well on ginger fur. It common for self (e.g. non agouti) cats to have some tabby marking as kittens that gradually clear as they mature.
