About the Tabby

The Tabby is a medium cat breed. Adult cats typically weigh 8 to 12 pounds and live 12 to 18 years. The breed is described as pattern-not-breed, varies-widely, common, adaptable.

Any household — tabby is a coat pattern that appears across many breeds and the everyday domestic cat. Temperament varies with the individual. There isn't a real one; tabbies fit almost any household when matched to the individual cat.

Adult Tabbys need about 20 minutes of daily exercise; adolescent cats typically need 30 minutes. The coat is short-coated with moderate shedding, and brushing every 4 weeks keeps the coat manageable.
