About The Tabby Cat
Few companions are as quietly good company as a tabby cat stretched across a sunny windowsill, tail curled just so, watching the world with half-lidded amber eyes. From the rumbling tomcat who patrols the yard at dusk to the tiny kitten batting at a dust mote, cats have shared our homes and our hearts for thousands of years. Whether you call her a moggy, a kitty, or simply the cat, she almost certainly has her own opinion about the matter.
