Just for the love of Tabby Cats- not enough tabby love

Just that really. I have a wonderful middle-aged tabby who turned up in my garden nearly eight years ago and seems to have no intention of going home. She was about 5 years old, a skinny little thing, spayed and obviously looked after at some point but no chip and no forthcoming owner!

DH had died about 6 months before (hated cats- so cat free house) in a weird way as we could not have him back we were keeping her! She also looked just like my cat growing up who I remember getting aged 3 as my first memory and then living for 22 years amazing years. I know for most humans, their own feline overlords are the best- but surely everyone knows tabby cats are the most beautiful, felines ever!

All of your cats are divine! Animals are fab and make the world (definitely the case for me) a better place 💜

Not strictly a tabby but he’s is getting FOMO 😻

Matt is eight and rules the house. He eats for England, has been on holiday with us many times and taken it in his stride, and our Staffie cross dog is terrified of him.

We have 2 tabbies that we got as kittens last year. They bring us so much joy and have turned out to be long haired floof monsters.

Look at their fluffy tails!

Not my tabby cat. 😼

I've got 3 at the moment (one's a ginger if that counts). Loki with the massive eyes, fluffy Charlie and Alfie the ginger tabby. He's going to be the chonky one, eating everyone's food, we should have called him Garfield!

And here's Alfie who had eaten a full bowl of food just 10 minutes before the photo but was trying to tell me he hasn't been fed all week!

Yes, he is. He was abandoned as a kitten so we took him on and he rules the roost. 5.5kg of pure love 💙💙💙

She really is. 😍 I've always loved tabby cats.

Have been considering a companion for her recently.

Love all the pics!

We rescued our tabby 5 1/2 years ago when she was 7. She is very aloof most of the time and we think she was mistreated by someone in the past (her last owner had dementia). I always wanted a tabby cat and she is gorgeous (just wish she would let us pick her up without biting us!)

All your stripey cats are gorgeous and so varied.. These two are now 14 weeks old and have won over our hearts and home completely. After asking on here for name suggestions we had settled on Yan and Tyan but they didn't stick. So they're now officially Maud and Mildred (or Maudy- Moo and Milly-Moo or Mardy and Dread).
