What really is a tabby cat?

[kb2yjx]

Queen Scoop Alot and I must have read the SAME book, because I recall "that all cats are tabbies," too! Our Tuxedo, Tina Peepers, when in the sun, you can see the faint stripes on her!!! I have read about the CLASSIC, BLOTHCED, and Mackeral striped tabbies. The blotched has the swirls, the mackeral the stripes go 'round the body, and the classic has stripes, but I do not remember how they go!!!! Sandra

Well that was very interesting to read Kim. I thought the Classic Tabby was the one with the stripes and the Mackerel had the swirls like our Chipper.
That's what I love about this site. I have learnt so much in the years I have been here.
