1/23: TABBIES WERE NAMED AFTER A BAGHDAD SILK
Tabby cats got their name by being compared to silk from the “Attabiy” district in Baghdad, and the 14th century Middle French term for it was “atabis,” which then became “tabis,” and eventually our English word, “tabby.”

Mom read the back cover of the book and the first four pages and realized we have already read this book. She’s pretty sure it was part of Book Club way back when it started. If anybody is still looking for a copy, let me know, and Mom will send you ours. View
