Sort of. Some "wild" species of cats have tabby markings. The modern domestic house cat line is traced back to a wild species called the African Wild Cat which can have tabby markings (which is part of the reason the African wildcat is attributed to being the "original" house cat). There are wild cat species on several continents that have markings resembling tabbies. House cats are also particularly good at reverting to their wild instincts (unlike dogs), probably because of their naturally solitary behaviour. When a domesticated animal reverts to the wild, it is not considered to be a "wild" animal: it is called "feral". The difference being that a truly wild animal has never been domesticated, like a tiger. A feral animal is a domesticated animal that has reverted to wild behaviour, like an abandoned house cat that manages to survive in the wild. So there are both wild and feral tabby cats.

Alien big cats UK?
I think it's yes. You can't see it but it can exit. (2) There are feral cats - domestic cats that have become wild and raised litters of kittens that have had no contact with humans. Feral cats can adapt quite well to living in the wild, living on rabbits, rats and birds, and they could grow quite large. If you're referring to big cats like Puma, Lion or Tiger roaming in the wild then the answer is 'no' though there are repeated rumours of big cats escaping (or being released) from zoos, wild-life parks and circuses. You may want to Google 'The Beast of Bodmin Moor' - to read about sightings of a panther-like creature killing sheep and dragging them away.
