This vintage, yet clip-art like, drawing has fun with a term we rarely use anymore - tabbies. The short poem that accompanied this drawing referred to the three ladies, not the three cats, as tabbies. A tabby can be defined as a spinster or a hateful gossip. It is also a reference to a cat, most often a female cat. While there's no way of knowing if the ladies in this drawing are truly hateful gossips, we do know that at least one of the cats is a female since all calico cats are females - we'll just have to assume that the black and white cats are also females.
