Question about Tabby Cats

I was wondering if all Tabby cats don't like to be petted much and kinda nip at ya sometimes? thats how my cat is, she's about a year old now, so i dunno if this will change as she gets older or what.

hmmmm interesting - my Zeus, orange tabby, is like that.
I'm curious to hear what other tabby human companions have to say

It just depends on the individual cat. "Tabby" is just a color pattern, not a breed with specific, shared characteristics.

My big orange tabby boy is nuts. But actually neither he nor solid black Sabrina particularly like to be stroked.
