Sometimes you can see those faint tabby markings on a solid-colored cat who is sitting in the bright sun. All orange cats are tabby cats and vice versa. Other cat colors or patterns may hide those tabby markings, but they’re always present. Technically speaking, no matter what colors or markings you see on your cat, all felines possess the tabby cat gene.
And it happens to be the most common of all the feline coat patterns. People sometimes call the average domestic cat a tabby, but tabby is not a cat breed - it is actually the pattern of kitty’s coat.
