This is Amelia. She looks adorable but she is in fact part crocodile and hates absolutely everything and everyone. We love her very much.

@houseofisms they are beautiful especially the chonky one above ❤️

Mine is adorable. He's very very cuddly and has a really loud purr that's easily activated.

He was really naughty as a baby though. Brought down and smashed a full length mirror and hid in the Christmas tree. He now gets into fights with the local tom. But he's very protective over his little brother (not related).

He's my first tabby and I love him dearly x

YABU, all cats are the best (I have to say that, I have a tabby and a tuxedo). Here they are, pretending to be friends:

I have a non traditional tabby. She has all of the colours just lots of white too. She is 17 and a real darling. I also have an all black cat.

This one has just ripped the Christmas tablecloth in 2 places, pest!

One look at that little face and surely all is forgiven!

Tabby cats are gorgeous like teeny tigers .

But you do all know that Black Cats are whatever they choose to be , they just disguise themselves in panther .

Our panther boy has hints of oriental about him , our panther girl has faint chocolate stripes in some lights
They have the blue/green iridescence of a magpie wing (maybe their mum ate a magpie )

I’m quite partial to a tabby too but nothing tops a ginger tabby.

More beautiful cat pictures please!

Team long haired Ginger here.

But do love a tabby!

HoratioBum · 25/12/2025 10:44

Here’s my beautiful boy, gone 4 years now. Never had a cat like him.

This is not my tabby cat but he appears in my house if we dare leave a window open. Maybe it’s his house and he just lets us live here.

I LOVE tabbies! Beautiful colours and personality!

I've never chosen a cat, they have all come via the cat distribution system. My latest is currently outside doing kitty business which probably means she is getting food from the neighbours.

HalfasleepChrisintheMorning · 25/12/2025 10:12

Lovely cats all, but black have my heart

CalzoneOnLegs · 25/12/2025 10:07
