If you think of cats when you hear the word "brown tabby," then you're definitely a cat lover!
I'll just certify it myself!!
This time, we'll be focusing on tabby cats, including the ever-popular calico cat .
In recent years, with the resurgence of the pet boom and the expansion of cat cafes, there have been more opportunities to interact with various types of cats.
There are many popular cat breeds from overseas, such as the long-haired Ragdoll and Maine Coon, and the short-legged Munchkin.
Among them, the Japanese cat remains extremely popular.
This is a breed of cat that is often seen around town, has lived in Japan for a long time, and has long been loved and cherished by the Japanese people.
The representative of Japanese cats! Types of tabby cats and how to distinguish them
The tabby cat is a typical Japanese cat, but did you know that there are many different types of cats?
They are divided into three types based on color and pattern: brown tabby, calico, and mackerel tabby .
[Brown tabby]
Their coat color is a light brown with a dark orange-brown striped pattern known as "tiger stripes." Because the color resembles ginger, they are also known as "ginger cats." Their eye color is often gold or hazel, but as kittens they have blue eyes known as "kitten blue." As they grow, their eyes change, showing a variety of expressions.
[Tabby]
The name is said to come from the fact that the black tiger-like stripes on a light brown base resemble the pattern of a pheasant. The patterns tend to be darker around the eyes and toes , and the tail tends to get darker and darker towards the tip.

It is similar to the tabby cat, but has a silver base with black stripes, and its official name is the "Silver (Blue) Mackerel Tabby." "Mackerel" means the fish "mackerel," and it is named after the pattern that resembles a mackerel.
Cats with these three coat colors are collectively called "tabby cats."

Tabby cats' compatibility with other pets, such as ease of care, varies depending on their coat color.
We will introduce each child's personality by color.

When they are kittens, they are mischievous and curious!
You'll see lots of adorable scenes of them running around and falling over. Compared to cats of other coat colors, brown tabby cats are less wary and have a gentle personality that doesn't like fighting, and they're friendly and affectionate , making them easy to handle and perfect for cat beginners. They also love humans because of their gentle nature, and it's safe to say they won't have any trouble coexisting with other animals. They'll also be friendly with existing cats!

They are known for being very cautious and wild.
They will be eager to jump on you when playing with toys. They will play with their instincts exposed. They often get so carried away by their instincts that they bite you, so you need to be careful when playing with them. Also, because they are wary, it may be difficult to get along with them from the start, but once they open up to someone, they are very affectionate. Their tsundere attitude is irresistible.

Perhaps because they are rare and few in number, tabby cats are said to have two-sided personalities.
Both are thought to be strategies for survival, but the first cat's personality is similar to that of the brown tabby cat, being wary and wild. The second cat is very affectionate and loves people. They are polar opposites, but just like people, cats also have individual differences. Also, like the brown tabby cat , they tend to bite, so caution is advised when they are around small children.
