For a short time, it was considered its own breed, but has since been relegated to little more than a color variation of the Persian breed. There are a number of characteristics common to the Himalayan “breed” that make it an interesting companion.

The first thing you need to know about tabby kittens is that, despite what most people think, they are not actually a breed. Tabby refers to the coloring pattern on their fur, rather than any sort of actual breed. People tend to think that they are an actual breed because the pattern is so common among so many other breeds. The pattern itself generally consists mainly of stripes, but can also include swirls and spots, either mixed into the stripes or on their own. There are several different varieties of tabbies, but the most common are listed below.
