Every tabby has a different personality. My tabby, he is declawed, he is very strange boy. He is aggressive because of being declawed. Not all tabbies are big but the males tend to be big. Mines loves to play especially at night time when we are going to bed. The tabbie that I had to have put down wasn't very nice to other people. She use to hiss at them if they came close to her but she love her family. I hope that help you but now it really up to you.
