Brown Tabby Cat - Rare?

[jan]

Hi all,
I was intrigued to read an article in a magazine a few weeks ago regarding a womans search for a brown tabby cat. She states that she took nearly nine years to find one which she then began a business breeding from. She says that whilst you would think it an easy thing to find a brown tabby, as they were very common and on every street corner when she was a child, it was actually nearly impossible. I must admit I was surprised but I suppose on reflection, a lot of tabbys are silver tabby s today.

I have had brown tabby s in the past, real brown and cream, with spots on their tums and the stripes on their backs, but without realising my last tabby was indeed a silver tabby. So, anybody, have you got a good old brown tabby cat? Jan x

Very interesting Jan, I though most Tabbies were brown, will have to look more closely in future...

Think Jerry would be classed as a brown tabby -

He's not a silver tabby anyway

He's one stripy handsome baby Erin. I would think random's Anakin is one as was my dear old Merlin.

[calismum]

yes, that is what I would describe as a brown tabby - and a very handsome one too.

Thanks all
Like Moli, I thought most Tabbies were brown I didnt think they were rare, a few of my friends have brown Tabbies, and yes Angie not for getting dear old Merlin and baby Anakin

He is a beauty Erin, always had a real soft spot for Jerry....

I have had 1 and one with wee white paddy paws and currently have one, i'd say silver tabbies were less common than brown but neither 'rare'.

JMO.
