There’s just something about tabbies.
They’re all beautiful.

@CoubousAndTourmaIet they resemble lions ❤️

They did. They were big boys; both around 10kg, but very gentle and sweet natured.

I adore tabby cats. Watched “Mog’s Christmas” this morning and it reminded me how much I love them

My beautiful katy who once stole the raw bacon off the pigs in blankets ( and I actually asked my son if he’d eaten it ) now at Rainbow 🌈 bridge

Freshfields is a good rescue in Liverpool.

It is excellent! It's where I got my first two cats from

Just popping back on to admire all of these absolutely stunning tabby cats! Very tempted to find myself a little tabby kitten with some of the money I received for Christmas! I'm not sure how current dcat might react, but she might be ok with a kitten if I introduce them slowly

Here’s my (very) big and completely daft boy. His sister is much smaller and solid grey & white.

What a lovely thread!
We had two gorgeous tabby boys, but sadly lost them in 2022 and 2023. I miss them so much. We currently just have one sweet little blue tortie girl, but she's 13 now so we don't want to inflict a kitten on her. I'd love another male tabby at some point though.

I have one, currently asleep above my head. I adore her, she chose me at the shelter.

I also have a boy tuxedo who's currently sharing some melon with my husband.

I love my tabby cat, he is such a huge part of our family. His mum is a bengal, and he is just beautiful 🤩

I've always had rescue cats. First 3 were all black and white. All utterly adorable.
Fourth cat is a tabbie. He's very funny and mischievous.

Same!! I had a beautiful tabby cat for nearly 18 years but she died in February. One day I may well have another!

Are you in London - there's a lovely one upthread needing a new home - returned by previous rescuer for being too snuggly and affectionate Confused
