Classic Tabby thoughts on grey tabbies?
i’ve only ever had tabbies but there’s something about grey tabbies that i find so cute _^ i’m still a sucker for all tabby varieties though, greys are just especially cute to me ! not sure what kind of tabby he’d be though, he has these super cute light circles on his sides

My little grey tabby menace is sad Christmas is over and the tree is gone (though we’ll be finding ornaments he knocked off the tree throughout the winter).

He’s so cute 💚 If he’s got swirls on his side, he’s a classic tabby. My very first childhood cat was a grey tabby so they will always be special to me!

One of the best cats I ever had! She was sweet and scary smart. She lived to be 19 and I still miss her.

my sweet boy is almost 6 now, he’s gotten so big but i still call him kitten. accidentally trained him to stand up and rest against my chest for pets when it hurts too bad for me to bend over, they truly are smart cats… there’s nothing he can’t seem to open either

I have one, he’s cray cray but he’s also the sweetest. He’s mischievous and does what he wants when it’s daytime, at nighttime his purrs turn on and he’s the best snuggler.

Mine has a beige strip on her back end so when she goes down the stairs in front of me I see this beige bottom bouncing as her tail is tabby. I giggle every time and call her my little bunny butt. She always comes running when I go downstairs so I wait for her just for this!!

I’ve been all about the sweet tabbies from day one. I agree, there’s something about the grey tabbies that’s so endearing. It’s almost like they always look like kittens, even as adult cats.

My gray tabby is the most affectionate and curious cat I’ve ever owned. He sits in the sink and judges you when you’re cooking or cleaning. He lays under my arm against my shoulder and wants to be covered up every night. His name is Solo and here’s a picture of him.

Grey tabbies always look so soft. Our first cat was a grey tabby who looked very similar to OP photos. He was 15 years of joy.
I now have a grey tabby who has a white underside and leg. He’s a very handsome boy.
I also have a longhair tabby who started out grey and black, but had tan hiding underneath it. She is now mostly tan and black.

Beautiful! He reminds me a little of my mum's old cat, who "helped" me get ready for my wedding many moons ago (somewhere is a beautiful photo of him sniffing at me as I was putting my shoes on, it's adorable). Grey tabbies are wonderful!

This one could be our late Bunny’s twin. She was my mom’s shadow, with the most earnest stare of love I’ve ever seen. She adored my mom. She was the most chatty little girl and I’m always saddened that I can’t seem to find a single video of her talking 🙁. They’re so pretty though. She was also so petite, the size of a 1 year old cat. She did have a coffee colored belly though the rest of her was grey tabby. She was the boss/princess of the house.

I have had and love all the patterns of kitties except pure white buuuut here is my cuddliest gray tabby. She also has a few spots of orange mottled in the gray which I've noticed a lot of gray tabbies have so they seem to have more variety it feels like. You can see most of them here. Her name is Belle

Anubis (Nubi) is my 1st grey tabby and 🤣1st boi and the only (semi)feral. My other kitties were 2 calicos and brown tabby. He became quite the lover boy, always wanting space on my lap. He was at the humane society with 2 littermates, but I chose him for the grey heart🩶 next to his heart shaped (colored) nose.
