A cat's diet has nothing to do with its coat colour. The term "tabby" describes the certain coat pattern, and nothing else.

Cats are complete carnivores, so live predominantly on a diet of fresh raw meat. Domestic cats aren't all that different from big cats such as lions. Pet cats, like their wild cousins, get all their nutrition from meat-based proteins and fats. A pet cat that has access to outside might hunt and eat small birds, mice, voles and other small wildlife animals.

As for feeding a cat, it is best to feed your cat a food that a lot of meat in. Be sure to look at the ingredients - The best cat foods are the ones with a very high named meat content (labeled as Chicken, Turkey, Rabbit, Lamb, Tuna, etc.) as the first, or first three, ingredients.

It is advisable to stay away from brands that include Corn, Wheat, Cereals, Soy and various Sugars in their foods - cats have difficulty in digesting these and do not provide any nutritional value to the cat whatsoever. Wet food with these specifications are much easier to find than in dry food.
