These are all gorgeous kitties. I’ve had kitties all of my life but never a tabby. Mine have all been black/b&w. Love all the photos ❤️

Loving all the cat pictures. Thank you.
DD is very allergic to cats so we can't have one Sad

Here is my box of my tuna tins. Time for my second breakfast. What part of I want another tin of tuna are you not understanding human?

@CarbonArtist what fabulous markings ! Positively regal. My very first cat was a well marked tabby. In the meantime I am enjoying ALL the cat tax 😻
@Retailrookie I agree. My little black panther has such a different temperament to the big orange tom doofus but is still very affectionate - in his way (and I have the scars to prove it) 🤭

Trying to sleep but tabby cat thinks it's reasonable to have a second tin of tuna at 1.30am. 8kgs of him.

Like a tiny panther

I like black cats the best. Especially solid black cats. They look spooky af

Jugendstiel · 25/12/2025 01:31

Tabbies are gorgeous.

My favourite cats are ginger toms as I have had three over a lifetime and they have all been very affectionate and opinionated. Never aloof. But if I can't rehome a ginger when we are next ready to have a cat, then I'd love a tabby.

My Ian. He’s totally adorable but also very naughty and I adore him!

What a wonderfully pedestrian name for a cat 😁 my DB is an Ian a massive twat though so this is adorable.

Our girl, looking much more refined than she actually is.

Mine is being like an over excited toddler at the moment asking and poking for a second tin of tuna and it's not even 1am.

Tabbies are adorable. But all of mine have had a slightly wild/adventurous streak.

LittleJustice · 25/12/2025 00:21

Absolutely 💯 agree.

I have 2, adore them.
