    question about tabby cats

    A woman I work with told me yesterday that any cat that has "tabby" in them will have a letter "M" on their forehead right above their eyes. Is this true?

    Hmm... I have 4 tabbies. Miss Abby is the only one I have with a true M on her forehead. The other three just have stripes or Vs. I am the consummate Tabby person too! A tabby basically has stripes, and the immediate incdicator is the striping on their forehead but they also have stripes along their tails too.

    I KNEW I'd seen a neat explanation somewhere about tabby cats, and how they got their "M"s!

    Mina's M stands for Mischieveous little squirt.

    You've got the Mischieveous part right, at least where my Abby is concerned!
    She kind of has that "M" too.
