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!

My beautiful boy, who we lost over a year ago. He was such a character. Only just getting to the point where I can consider a new cat.
All cats are gorgeous but tabbies have a special place in my heart. ❤️❤️

@LadyOfTheCanyon what a stunning boy. I think the way it works is that it is not about you being ready, another stunning feline will choose you to be their human slave and you will realise it is the time. And you will be forever grateful and give them your heart in return 😻

Love a tabby! This is Bo my first ever cat, I call him my little tiger and he really does prowl the countryside like it’s the Serengeti 😁

Bo is a beauty! He does look very much at home in the "wild".

Absolutely loved looking at all the beautiful cats on this thread. Here's my floofball tabby Willow. Such a soppy boy.

No. I tell a lie! The photos are of both of them, not two photos of the same cat.

I love my tabby cat

Her is 'Her Mistyness' in various poses. She has a be that hooks over the radiator but she ignores it.

She was a stray, she is small and about 15 years old, she will con anyone she can in to thinking she is a stray starving kitten.

She visits most of my neighbours who let her in, feed her, cuddle her, let her sleep on them.

A new neighbour moved it last year, her grand daughter visits before school some days and she now feeds both her Gran's cat and Mist, she also claims 'Misty loves me'.

I adore tabbies. They are house tigers in miniature. Second only to gingers.
