Tabby cats exist across a variety of breeds, their personality traits are more distinct to their breed rather than the markings that distinguish them as Tabbies.Tabby patterns assist in camouflage when cats are hiding in tall grasses or bushes hunting for prey just like tigers and leopards.Classic orange tabbies have richer, fuller fields of red than their mackerel counterparts.

Tabby M All tabbies have distinctive M on forehead. Brown mackeral tabbies are the most common. Black stripes ranging from coal black to brownish on a background of brown to gray.

There are sound genetic explanations for having a mackerel, classic, ticked, or spotted pattern in a tabby cat.Like the mackerel tabby, the classic tabby has dark bars on the legs, tail, and cheeks, along with the telltale M shape on the forehead.

A genetic study of tabbies found five genetic clusters to be ancestral to cats from various parts of the world. The classic tabby pattern is swirled, blotched, or marbled, giving the cat a tie-dyed or bullseye look.In comparison, a standard domestic shorthair cat can be bought from the litter for £40 (48).
