While tabby cats are grouped together in conversation, they are not a breed. 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 breeds of cat can have the tabby pattern, but is particularly common in moggies.

Why is it genetically impossible for a cat to be orange without being a tabby?
The 'O' gene found in an orange tabby cat suppresses a gene called the 'aa' gene. This 'aa' gene decides if the tabby pattern will be blocked in a cat or not. Because this gene is suppressed in an orange cat there is always a tabby pattern. This means that there is no such thing as a solid orange cat and a cat with patterns in its fur is considered to be a tabby. Thus all orange cats are tabby cats.
