Orange Cat Info
Have you ever wondered how long orange tabby cats live? Read our post about this here.
Did you know that 80% of orange cats are male? The gene that causes the ginger colouring is found in the x chromosome, of which male cats have one (the other being y).
This means they only need one parent to carry the ginger gene to get the orange colouring. Female cats have two x chromosomes, and so will only turn out orange if both parents have the ginger gene.
We are lucky to have two orange cats at Tabbycatcorner, Stevie and Otto.
Stevie has a lot of white, making his orange spotty markings extra special, whereas Otto is mostly orange.
