Tabby

Tabby Kearney (born ca. 2005) is a tabby cat owned by the Kearneys. Tabby suffers from an upper respiratory tract disease, commonly referred to as Kearn flu, generally thought to occur when a subject has spent prolonged periods in the company of Kearney. As a result, Tabby has a sickly, almost-feral appearance. According to Kearney, Tabby "knows where the fridge is", often resulting in quirky incidents involving missing or spoiled food, much to Kearney's disdain.

Tabby and Kearney
Tabby has a somewhat strained relationship with Kearney, with the latter often referring to the former as a "fecking diseased yoke". Tabby's attempts to venture inside the Kearney household regularly end with Kearney retrieving a brush, and with it, forcibly removing Tabby from the house.

On the International Kearnage Scale (IKS), Tabby is ranked as "notably less".
