Orange Cat Info

How long orange tabby cats live.

80% of orange cats are male. The gene that causes the ginger coloring is on the X chromosome, and male cats have only one (the other is Y).

So a male needs only one parent to carry the ginger gene to be orange. Female cats have two x chromosomes, so they only turn out orange if both parents have the ginger gene.

We have two orange cats at Tabbycatcorner, Stevie and Otto. Stevie has a lot of white with orange spotty markings, while Otto is mostly orange.
