Well, tortoiseshell cats' fur are in dappling patterns, sort of all blended together, and tabby cats' are usually in stripes.
Female Tabby cats are fairly popular (at least here in Sacramento) because the female tabby is apparently more rare than the male. I am not sure if it genetic or just my luck but 90% of tabby cats I have seen over the years have been overweight also.
This is lost to history. Tabby cats have been around for centuries, and it is unknown even when they first appeared.
