While the term "tabby cat" are often used describe a certain type of cat, they are not a breed, thus do not have any set personality traits. The word "Tabby" refers to a cat who has a certain pattern on its coat. The Tabby pattern has dark markings (stripes, swirls, spots) on a paler background. The stripe colour is solid (goes right to the hair root), but the background colour is banded with colour on each individual hair.

Many different breeds of cat can have the tabby pattern, with the most common being the Domestic Shorthair or Domestic Longhair (often called mixed breeds or moggies). Because of this, any cat with the tabby patterning can have a completely different personality to the next tabby cat.

Answer

"Maine coon" cats, which also have the stripey pattern, are wonderful pets. They are large, longhaired cats that are very personable and smart. Mine waits for me at the door when I come home, loves to play and also is a great lap cat.
