Tabby is a naturally-occurring color pattern within cats. It has developed on its own over time, and while humans may have encouraged it by breeding cats for the tabby patter, it originally came from nature.

Tabby cats originated from a genetic mutation that causes a distinctive striped or mottled coat pattern. This mutation likely occurred in wild cats thousands of years ago, and has since been passed down through generations. Tabby cats can be found in various breeds and are not specific to any one region.
