The cat that Mom grew up with was a tabby. Her name was Tiger and she lived with Mom for 10 years.
Later, she had an Orange Tabby named Attila!
He arrived when Alex was 5 years old and they lived in a small village in the foothills in Alberta. When they moved to the big city, Attila missed being an outside cat. A friend of Mom's got him a new person who lived "off the grid". Attila LOVED his new home and his new person and he lived to be 21 years old! The last time Mom saw him was about 2 weeks before he went over the bridge and he still acted like a kitten.
Now Mom is owned by us 2 tabbies! Jo Jo and Me, Marvelous.
Jo Jo is 3 years older than I am. We look very much alike. We are the same size but I have bigger paws and a squarer head. Our coats have different patterns. When you see us at a distance, we can be mistaken for each other, but when we are together, you can see the difference.

ReplyDeleteTabbies ROCKS!
ReplyDeleteOona: "Oona is technically a tabby, even though she is a black ninja kitty. You can still see her tabby stripes if the light is just exactly right."
ReplyDeleteCharlee: "A ninja tabby?"
Oona: "It is a technique to disorient Oona's opponents."
Chaplin: "Hooray for adopting a shelter pet! We are all shelter pets here except for Oona, who went right from the street to our Dada's cousin's porch to here."

ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots of tabbies. Especially Marvelous Marv. He's my heart cat.
ReplyDeleteWe didn't need to adopt our kitties, they just showed up. That worked for us.
