Tabby cats are the most common domestic cat pattern, marked by distinctive stripes, swirls, or spots created by agouti banding on individual hairs. Their markings serve as natural camouflage and are found across multiple breeds and mixed populations worldwide. The tabby pattern has been documented in cat populations for centuries and remains one of nature's most efficient coat designs for concealment in varied environments.
