Tabby

Tabby cats are not a distinctive breed but felines having a coat in the pattern of stripes, dots, lines and swirling designs, joined together to form an “M” mark on its forehead. The four tabby patterns include mackerel, classic, spotted and ticked, while the fifth one is a patched pattern where breeds with a tortoise shell or calico coat have patches of tabby, even known as torbie and caliby respectively.
