'Tabby' refers to a cat with a striped coat (examples here: http://www.catster.com/cats-101/tabby-cat), and has nothing to do with a cat's sex. Tabbies can be male or female. Female cats are sometimes called 'molly cats' or 'mollies' but those terms are not very common outside cat fanciers. However, 'tomcat' or 'tom' (for a male cat) is more widely used.

How does "C'est un chat" differ from "C'est une chatte" in the sound? Could I even hear the difference? If there is no difference detectable, shouldn't both solutions be correct here?
