The orange tabby cat is also not a breed; instead, tabby cats have one of the most common coat patterns for both wild and domestic cats and are known for their striped coats.
The colors are often described as red and black, but the "red" patches can instead be orange, yellow, or cream, [2] and the "black" can instead be chocolate, gray, tabby, or blue. [2] Tortoiseshell cats with the tabby pattern as one of their colors are sometimes referred to as torbies or torbie cats. [7]
