For a story about the fabled "M" on the tabby forehead, don't miss Beloved of Bast, by the inimitable Jim Willis. He brings alive our deep regards of the tabby in a most exception way: "From this day forward, even after you leave this earthly 'home' of yours, your spirit will always be present. At the edge of the forest and field, Man will see a brown tabby cat from the corner of his eye. As he rides in his motorcar, he will spy you by the side of the road. As he turns the corner on a dark night in the city, there you will be. Under lamplight, against fence posts, in the alleys, on doorsteps, you will be there as a constant reminder to Man of what he has foolishly ignored - the simple, quiet, loyal and forgiving heart of a brown tabby cat. That, Most Honored Mother, beloved of Bast, will be my gift to you."

You may submit photos of your tabby cat, using the guidelines on the Photo Submittal page. Be sure to write a paragraph or so about the cat, and use "Tabby Photo" as the subject of the email. I would prefer that your tabby be photographed by him/herself or with another tabby, rather than with cats of other colors/patterns, to preserve the "integrity" of the calendar section.
