- Not a substitute for professional veterinary help.
For you, a solid-hued cat just won’t do. Although all cats are adorable, you just can’t help but fall for those cute kitties with the stripes, swirls, and spots in a variety of colors.
Otherwise known as “tabby cats,” these patterned felines are anything but ordinary with their distinctive markings, and they know how special they are, too.
For your one-of-a-kind tabby cat, they definitely deserve an equally special name.
