This is because the whiskers are typically only as wide as the body, and since the cat cant guess how big its behind is (in that cats case, wider than the whiskers), it just has to hope its whiskers are telling it the truth
@@ecospider5”breed” 😭 also, the red hair mutation is mostly centered around Europe. You’d probably have a hard time finding a redhead of various other races, though of course they do exist
I'm glad our cats live so far away from people you'd never be able to pet them, as people sometimes straight up steal cats and dogs, especially ones that are not tagged!
My mom had a tabby and he was one of the most special kitties ever 😢. Unfortunately, he had to be put down in April. Him and I got really close in the last few years of his life. He literally cuddled me to sleep. He was awesome 👌 👏 RIP DEXTER 🙏 🪦
My tabby is so clingy, i havent gone to the bathroom alond in years since i got her 😂 i thought i was actually alone in the shower the other day, but nope. She poked her head in to lick the faucet water drops
My mom just lost her tabby. Her name was Titi, aka Durse Min. I knew her for a whole 18 years and she lived a long and happy kitty life. She hated being picked up, but she was the most affectionate cat, purring non-stop for an hour with us while watching movies or when going to bed. She was also the most talkative cat; I would meow at her and she'd meow right back and we'd have conversations! She had quite the routine with my mum and would wait for her everyday for their evening yoga session. My mum was even able to understand her meows and knew which one meant hungry, or she wanted a stint in our unfinished old basement for cat adventures. Sadly, in her last days she became deaf and very scrawny, so we knew she wasn't long for this world. She even let me hold her in my arms without complaining. She may be gone now, but we'll remember her and she'll live on in our hearts. The old house is still hers in spirit! 😸
Update : some neighbours moved in next door to hers and their cat decided to move in with my mom. The crazy thing is, it's a tabby just like Titi, it looks almost exactly how she looked, except with a raspy meow. My mum went to talk with the neighbours and I tried bringing their cat, but it is terrified of their dog, hence why it goes to my mum's. They don't mind her taking the cat, so she has a tabby again. Funny how life works sometimes!
Garfield The Orange Tabby Cat Is So Fat That He Can't Fit Through The Cat Door! That's What I Call A Real Cutie Pie To The MAX!!!😇🌟🤗🙏🙏🙏🇨🇦🇮🇱♾️🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🗽🦅‼️
Garfield there is really a beautiful shade of Red. Got my Big Black slimmed down with wet food 3 times a day so he would eat less kibble; his people should try that.
Video "they all have an M on their forehead Me: *looks at my cat who has a spider on his forhead* Also me: looks at his brother who had a fat beetle on his
if you look closely in direct sunlight, you can see that tiger stripe pattern in even all black cats. because the striped pattern fur is slightly darker than the non striped fur, even in all black cats. next time you are near a black cat, see for yourself
The last part describes my cat perfectly, always wanting to lay on or next to you and always wanting to play fight. Tho sometimes they go a bit too far with play biting.
Alot of people like to call breeds such as the Egyptian Mau a tabby, but they are still an Egyptian Mau. I have two Egyptian Mau's that I've adopted. Both have what appears to be a grey, striped and spotted coat with a wide black dorsal stripe and a black striped tail. Both of my Egyptian Maus have a scrab beetle pattern on their heads, including their greyish, black striped and spotted coat turning bronze when struck by the sun. Both possess a pie shaped face and elongated ears with long limbs and lanky bodies, My Maus are great climbers and very chatty cats.
Tabby is just the name for the coat pattern. It's the "original" cat pattern; the wild relatives of house cats, the African wild cats, have a tabby pattern to camouflage them.
You're very lucky, as scarce as they are. From the way you describe them they can look either Bronze or Silver depending on the lighting. They also come in a Smoke, where the background color is a medium/dark gray.
My much-missed Somali Max had that darker stripe down his back that continued onto his tail, made up of relatively long guard hairs that had more bands of his darker-colored ticking. In Somalis and Abys it's called an eel stripe. My Turkish Angora was a black smoke with an underlying Classic Tabby pattern; she looked like black and silver marble. Instead of having rings on her tail she had a black stripe that started at the base of her tail then progressed to at least 3 shades of gray around to the underside, where her plume was silver. Gorgeous creatures; miss them every day.
I have a tabby cat. Her name is Tabby. It's actually short of Tabitha but that name only is called when she's in trouble... which is more than it should be.
I've had cats that went by shorter nicknames (Tabby=Tabitha). I have 2 right now (my daughter's cats) named Abby and Kate...until they're in trouble! Then it's "Abigail" and "Kathryn".
Their whiskers also compensate for their poor close up eyesight. Just as they get too close to see what they are hunting and pounce their whiskers fold forward and act as sensors to zero in for the kill.
That "Letter M" is actually the most common coat marking among Tabbies. It is there as part and parcel of their "False Eyes" that never close. Tabbies have this for the same reason Tigers have shoulder spots, and Leon sleeps with one eye open.
I named mine Max because of his M on his forehead And how great and massive he was. Whenever he came, i always exclaimed "here he arrives, Massus Maximus." Miss you real bad, buddy.
See... Queenie was just laying beside me when this came up and so I started petting her and she wrapped around my hand for lovies and than... well than ATTACK!! 😂😂❤❤
My Tippy Girl, The cat in my picture, was the best kitty I could have ever asked for. She passed away in 2020. I miss her so much every day. Every time I see another Tabby I think of her.
I have a tabby cat just like the one in 0:52. He is my absolute best buddy. My gf is jealous because she can see the difference in his manners towards me. Although he also adores her, the connection is different.
I have a tabby called Molly who ironically enough doesn't have the M, but instead has a bright orange spot (the only orange in her coat) on her forehead.
In my country they are lovingly called "purebred mutts". It could also be interpreted as "purebred bastards" which i think chacks out (mutt doesnt have a negative conotation in my language). For mixed dogs we say "professional village vagabond/tramp"
"so they can easily fit through narrow spaces..." *shows Garfield trying to wedge through the cat door despite the whiskers* 😭😭❤️
Funny

😂😂😂 mesmo!

It’s also important to note, tabby is the type of coat pattern, not the breed. Sort of how dogs can have a brindle coat, but brindle is not the breed.
Yes kind of like redheads. You can be very different breads of human and have red hair.

My orange cat is crazy. Every night she gets her toy mouse, meows like no tomorrow, and puts it where I'll see it. Then comes to bed and crashes. 😂
Cute ❤
That's sweet. 🥰
orange tabbies are known for their inability to use their brain when they want
She's giving it to you as a gift 😊
Cats are crazy 🐈🐱🐈⬛🐾 y punto! That's one of the reasons I love them 😊!
Did I see Garfield trying to get through the cat door 😂
Yeah that's cuz he smelled jon making a lasagna for him

Yes, after 3 dishes of lasagna
No, it was your mother

only legends know that forehead M stands for "MAJIN".
Nah dawg, Babidi really trying to get all the cats for himself! 💀
Who have a cat named Majin boo bc of her m
They're cats not humanoids tho, it should be 'Mabyou'
Been a while since I've seen a dragon ball z fans
Thank you u made my day
As soon as I heard forehead and “M” I went to the comments section to find this exact comment.

@MelBelle55 I think about him all of the time. Luckily, I recorded a bunch of videos of him. It definitely helps.
Awe😢 rip buddy. He's making biscuits in heaven now
@Isthisjoebiden I'll never forget how he would scoot his body as close as possible, and we would cuddle. He was such a great cat.

@@scarletohustle_01 ..... 🤣 those babies. Don't you just love em? 😸
Have also had that experience with my dog oddly enough. He acts so much like a cat it's baffling.
My tabby is my good friend and colleague. He’s good at letting me know what he thinks.
Aww the cutest tabby is Kurt esp when he becomes a purrito!

Cats are the most handsome and fascinating creatures ever.
Tabbys are the master race of cats. They even have the M on their head
Precious little babies ❤❤❤
ALL cats are magnificent
I had a Black, Brown and White Tabby as a teenager named Bella ( from Twilight), and she was the light of my life and such a sweetheart.
Tabby sounds so comforting and soft. Tabby.Tabby. Tabby.
Cat's are the, GREATEST!!!😃🐱😁

I've had a number of Tabbies over the years. I have a female one now. I have loved them all.
Yes, we have a grey tabby female, and an orange tabby male. Both are characters loving mischief..
All are pretty kitties.
Aww! The bird preening its car friend's whiskers!
Love our Ms Kitty-Kadoo aka Chilli Bombilly-kat (or “Chilli” to some) Mackeral Tabbys are so amusing 🐱
I have a Tabby Point Siamese and she is the best pet I ever owned. She is always friendly and always wants to cuddle
"Known for their playful and outgoing personalities". That particular kitty is a Cream.
My tabbiecats ❤ I lovvvvveeee them so much
Pure sweetness!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It was at that moment, Mr Orange Pants realized he had gained weight and his whiskers were liars

My black cat shows some brownish tones in the sunlight but in 2 years I have yet to see any stripes. Will have to look closer.
Not sure about that, but black panthers have leopard spots, and leopards still have spots when you shave them.
I have a chubby tabby. His name is Lyon and he's a grumpy little old man, we love him 😂❤
I’ve got a marbled Manx and she’s got this adorable m on her forehead and a heart on her shoulders. She’s fricken adorable
They are beautiful ❤❤
I also notice tabby cats are also very vocal and demanding. I had many cats over the years and they are always meowing when its feeding time
My Tabby is beautiful but she is not very affectionate
The last part describes my cat perfectly, always wanting to lay on or next to you and always wanting to play fight. Tho sometimes they go a bit too far with play biting.
They're gorgeous
My tabby was one of the best boys I've known. I miss him every day.
Mine loves me and I love her I low key miss her right now that I’m at work 😢❤
thumbnell was so adorable
When I was a kid , my mom told me the " m " stood for " mouser". Meaning the cat would catch a lot of mice.🐈

Man ... the reaction time of cats is insane 🙀
Their whiskers also compensate for their poor close up eyesight. Just as they get too close to see what they are hunting and pounce their whiskers fold forward and act as sensors to zero in for the kill.
I can attest to that with my cat kitty she was a calico American shorthair and she was very lovable and social
Tabby's always have a letter "M" (or W from the back) on their forehead. It's the 65' Mustang of Cats!
bro just told me the basic function of a whisker while distracting me with cat videos
Tabby are great❤
Majin Cat, they got their power from Majin Buu.

Wiskers also search the floor for vibration while hunting.
