Tiger Cats: Beyond the Stripes

Tiger cats, or tabbies, are more than just a cool pattern – they have a fascinating history.

Their distinct markings, including the iconic 'M' on their foreheads, come from a genetic mutation that popped up in the Ottoman Empire.

While the tabby pattern is widespread today, it wasn't always common, and only really took off in the 18th century.

Tabby cats are a reminder that even something as simple as coat patterns can have a rich and intriguing story behind them.
