Congratulations on noticing this point.
Tabby cats with excellent appearance possess the most outstanding eyes and gazes among all cats. This is one of the many advantages of tabby cats.
Personally, I think among all cats, the eyes of tabby cats, American Shorthairs, and Ragdolls can rank among the top three. But the ones that are cute without looking silly and delicate yet domineering are only tabby cats. The eyes of Ragdolls can be regarded as typical representatives of being cute and a bit silly, while British Shorthairs are even closer to looking dull.
First, here is the CFA-certified photo. Although this cat has a very good appearance, it has been fed so fat that its figure is not ideal.
The figure of the tabby cat below is still relatively good. Let’s use this picture to illustrate the characteristics of the tabby cat’s eyes.
Almost all tabby cats have extremely round curves, with a clear demarcation between the upper edge and the forehead, and their eye corners are sharp and expressive. The bright and round eyes are extremely charming in conveying emotions, and most cat breeds do not have such a beautiful facial layout around the eyes.

The Lion Cat with orange cat fur perfectly inherits the beautiful eyes of the tabby cat.
The eyes of British Shorthairs are just round, but the curves are not elegant enough and lack charm.
In most cases, the eyes of Maine Coons are not round enough, and the upper edge often has a right-angled side, and the eye corners also seem impure.
The Yellow Tabby Cat is actually not of the same appearance as the Tabby Cat. The face of the Yellow Tabby Cat is thin, its cheeks tend to grow big, its eyebrow bones are high, and its eyes are more like polygons. This is especially obvious when they are kittens. They are extremely cute, but subjectively, the eyes of the Tabby Cat seem to grow bigger as it grows up, while the eyes of the Yellow Tabby Cat give the feeling of growing smaller.
Do you think this is a Yellow Tabby Cat?
No, in fact, it is a mixed-breed Tabby Cat, with the fur color of the Yellow Tabby Cat. This cat is not only not a Yellow Tabby Cat, but also belongs to the type with a very good appearance among Tabby Cats.
The one below is the real Yellow Tabby Cat:
In China, there are countless Tabby Cats with Yellow Tabby Cat patterns or Yellow Tabby Cats with Tabby Cat patterns.
This is a Siamese Cat. The angle of its eyes is much flatter than that of the Tabby Cat, and it also doesn’t have a beautiful upper edge.
On the one hand, their eyes are very round, and on the other hand, they have charming irises and colors. The shape is somewhat similar to that of the Tabby Cat. However, compared with the Tabby Cat, its eyes always seem to lack technical content. Complexity makes them look turbid, and simplicity makes them look silly. It seems to be a difficult pit to jump out of.
Compared with the eyes of the Tabby Cat, the eyes of the Norwegian Forest Cat are more like those of the Yellow Tabby Cat. They are indeed not as good-looking as the Tabby Cat.
The eyes of the Sphynx Cat go even further than those of the Siamese Cat. They are almost like human eyes, complex and without very nice curves.
Its eyes are extremely large, so full that they seem about to burst. It is cute, but only limited to being cute.
In fact, whether it is from small details such as the gaze or from the perspective of body shape and head shape, the characteristics of the Tabby Cat can be said to be neither too much nor too little, extremely symmetrical and appropriate, truly a masterpiece of nature and a classic boutique among small animals. If you have a Tabby Cat, please love it well. It is worthy of your love and fascination.
