Which of these orange tabby facts did you find the most interesting? 🐈🧡

[michelerivera]

I had a ginger tabby. He was so affectionate and loving. He lived with 3 chihuahuas and took it in stride. He passed the rainbow bridge 3 years ago and I still miss him so much. I’ll get another ginger when I’m ready.

You forgot one fact- they are adorable ❤

[bobbisparrow]

I had one, named him Griffin. He was the sweetest, warmest, most loving little guy who slept on my head like a cap! Only about 8 pounds and had a short but fluffy coat. He had feline urolithiasis which required special food, medications, hospitalizations, and even surgery. By the age of 12 he was getting so sick so often I realized I was being selfish trying to keep him with us. I was devastated when I made that decision, and even took a day off from a new job because I couldn't stop crying. He lived from 1977 to 1989. I still miss him very much.

I'm caring for a feral ginger, been feeding/watering him for over a year now and he's slowly sitting closer and closer when I bring his food out and also sitting on the porch waiting for his meals. I love my sweetie.

We have a ginger Manx. He’s truly Dennis the Menace. Grabs toast out of the toaster, eats our sponges, opens the trash cupboard drawer and gets in. One of the most fun and loving cats we’ve had!

[flowerfaeri]

I’ve had two female gingers 😻😻 Two months after my dear Pippi passed away at 19, her spirit guided an abandoned stray ginger kitten to a friend’s house on a cold December evening and she immediately thought we could give it a home. I love them both with all my heart, and am thankful that little Thomasina, the wee stray, found a her way to us. I know Pippi is glad for all of us ❤❤❤

I loved this sweet video! I also learned the M comes from Muhammad…he cut the sleeve of his gown off, to not disturb his favorite sleeping cat, Muezza, to attend a prayer session.❤️💕😻🐈🐈‍⬛🐾

[Mary-vnuh]

I have a ginger cat that we adopted and she is the most lovable cat. At night she runs between my husband and I to share her love. She’ll sit on my lap and purr and rub her face on yours and then she’ll run over to my husband for some time and do the same. She does this as long as we are up. She is always doing something to make us smile and laugh she just lifts your spirits. We just love her. ❤

I like marmalade to describe orange cats because the jam looks stripey like the cats.

Also our childhood cat was named Marmalade. He was an orange and white mackerel tabby. But he was grouchy.

[TK-yzwt]

I used to have three orange tabbies who were brothers. One had the blotched swirl pattern (Peanut), mackerel (Nacho) and ticked (Rascal).

Now I have a orange mackerel tabby named Chester. He likes stomach rubs which most cats usually don't.
