10 Fun Facts About Orange Tabby (Ginger) Cats 

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

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.

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.

My cat is a ginger Tabby he can't wait to watch this with me

You forgot one fact- they are adorable ❤

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!

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.

My neighbor's Cat was named Tiger and he lived to be 25 🐈🐾 Resting in Feline Paradise 🐱🐾

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 ❤❤❤

Don't forget the protagonist of Stray which also is a ginger cat

I just love ginger cats.

We’ve had 3 orange tabbies and they are very loving.

It never occurred to me that there wasn't a solid orange cat! Love these videos, thank you! 😻😸

My orange love is Cheeto. He runs to greet me every day when I come home ❤️

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.❤️💕😻🐈🐈‍⬛🐾

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.

Definitely looking forward to this video 🤍 I’m a parent of a ginger tabby and a black cat. Can’t wait!

I have a female ginger cat, she is very discrete with her affections, but intelligent. I remember the look on her face the day she realised that I understod what she was trying to tell me 😄

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.

Tabby cats are adorable. I enjoyed the live chat. Awesome cat facts.❤

my friend has a ginger cat and he's something else. so sweet and meows ENDLESSLY..

I adopted Wilder on my 49th birthday from Best Friends Animal Sanctuary in Kanab UT. Wilder is as ornery as they come. I love him anyway. He likes to attack Clemons. But he snuggles with Edgar, his oldest brother. Wilder is now 9 months old. Crazy, crazy, crazy!

One fun fact about me: I met and petted the original Morris at a cat show I was volunteering at in Santa Monica, CA. I was a girl scout and our troop got the "fun" job of cleaning the showing cages between judging. Whee, what fun😂! Morris was a super cool and relaxed cat.

We have a dilute ginger female cat. She has very faint tabby marking on her legs only. She was a rescued orphan feral kitten and had orange tabby brother and sister and a gray tabby girl. She has the mouth freckles noted in this video, and we asked our vet about it - thinking the worst. You know? Thank you for agreeing with our vet it was nothing serious! In my 50+ years of being owned by a cat, she is our first ginger and definitely has a different personality!

I found the fact that all orange cats are tabies most interesting. My ginger cat, Snickerdoodle passed away at 16 a couple of years ago so I can't really look closely at his coat pattern now. I didn't think he was a tabby but I'll take your word for it and look more closely at his pictures. The important thing tho is he was much loved 😍🐈. Thanks for the ginger cat info!

Found a orange kitten in the neighbors yard last November and he has quite the personality. I named him Jihadi because he is a terror to the 3 older cats we have in the house.

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 have a big orange tabby. He's so affectionate and nosey lol

I had never owned an orange tabby in all 34 years I’ve had cats until 2 years ago when my Burmese mix died after having him for 10 years, leaving his twin brother from the same litter behind. I didn’t plan on getting another cat, but his death happened so suddenly and the brother was lost without another cat around in the house. There was a stray that so happened to become available through a mutual friend that took it in and raised it for a bit around their dogs. A sweet little orange tabby. He was so small, scrawny, very dirty, eyes were matted a lot. He didn’t let anyone really fool with him to clean him, so he just hung around their dogs for the most part (which licked and cleaned on him). I took him home, gave him a gentle bath, got rid of any fleas he maybe had, took him to the vet, got shots, antibiotics, and got him neutered… and let him rest in a room I sectioned off just for him so my other cat could get used to his new scent first. After a few days, I let him out, and he was instantly taking to our cat. I had never been my older cat be so affectionate and caring, but he took to this little orange tabby instantly - always wanting to clean him, protect him, and would sleep with him often (which he rarely even did with his own brother). I knew this cat was special when even he immediately took to him, and my cat has always disliked other cats coming around. He was just so lonely. This orange tabby was a bit strange, though. He never meows. Ever. When he does, it’s very very faint and sounds more like air … his box was damaged from an infection from what vets believe, so we accepted we’ll never hear him meow. He lightly purrs and will do a very light hiss, but his way of communicating is probably the cutest damn thing … He wags and shakes his tail. Almost like a dog. When he wants to show affection, he licks me like a dog and even does very gentle love bites to get my attention (like my shins - he’ll “bite” my pant leg and gentle paw at me while shaking his tail real quick to signal he wants picked up, to which I will and he’ll then lick my face). He’s the sweetest ever, but he’s like a dog’s soul trapped in a cat’s body. He plays fetch, enjoys his treats, rolls over for belly rubs, and will sit up and wag his tail when excited. About a month ago, I was awoken around 4am to him running along the hardwood floor and jumping up the wall (I have carpet tacked to the wall that leads up to their homemade shelf area). I thought someone was in the house until I heard the faintest little meow ever … he got so excited playing that he actually meowed. I jumped straight out of bed yelling “oh my god hunny I just heard him meow!” - you’d think we were watching a baby walk for the first time lol. I am so glad I have this little fuzzy orange furball in my life. He’s been the best anxiety kicker when home and has been such a ray of sunshine to our lives with his affection. He has completely turned me to orange tabbies as a whole to where I want another some day lol.

My cat is a ginger. The litter was 6 kittens. All were female but him. Only one of them was NOT a ginger. So that litter had 4 female gingers and 1 male ginger. The other one was a gray tabby with some orange in it. She was also the runt who I had to hand feed.

I had a ginger ninja, he was extremely violent towards dogs.

I currently have one black cat, one brown mackeral tabby, and one orange mackeral tabby. The two tabbies are brothers, 3 month's old, rescued from a roadside. The black cat is 12 years old and queen of the house.

I LOVEd my male tabby cat. JO was the most territorial, protected and loyal to his people!!! I called him mister kittie!

My ginger cat (Mr. Apples) is HUGE but very sweet. He refuses to use a litter box & prefers spending his time outside but he just dropped in to say "haiyaaa" to all of his ginger cousins ❤

Love this video since I do have a 9 year old Ginger/orange & white tabby cat 😻😹😸😺🥰😊😍

My ginger Wishbone is so freaking awesome, he's affectionate and possessive of me reading his 2 brothers. He's also purrfectly symmetrical in coloring.

"I had a solid orange cat, so they do exist! that was a cool cat!

I refer to my orange tabby as a demon cheeto. Lol

My cat had a sort of calico pattern. Basically, he was a ginger with a pattern similar to his moms.

I have had experience with two ginger tabbies. Each of them were very gentle.

I too had a ginger male who crossed the Rainbow Bridge before Christmas, he passed away under the Christmas tree his favourite spot. He was adopted before Christmas 2016, he made my many days special with his daily routines. He patted me when he wanted treats and play time, he was very independent who didn’t want to be cuddled. He started lying in my lap when he became sick knowing that he wasn’t going to be with me. He had a thyroid issue and eventually lost his appetite where he lost weight. His name was Gallagher (Goo) to family and friends. His urn is on a shelf next to my husband’s urn.

My orange tabby, Ozzy, is 20. She is still in good health and so sweet. Do to her age she is a bit senile but still loving and the favorite of my other cats! They all groom her and protect her!

I have only had ginger cats. They're the best, IMO. 😸😻😹🐾💙

I loved my orange boy mango you haven’t lived as a cat lover until you’ve had an orange cat 😻😻🐾🧡🐾🧡🐾🧡🐾🧡🐾

I love ya'll channel

our gaara boy 🧡

I bottle raised a litter of five kittens this summer for a friend , the Mom abandoned her newborns. 4 females and a male. The four females were all calico and the male is a Ginger. The four girls are Grumpy, growly pusses but the the male I named Rusty is the sweetest kitty also very very clingy. He wants to be with the human ( me ) 24/7. He helps with dishes, helps me take a shower, helps me sleep, helps me with laundry, helps with cooking ,even helps me take out the trash. This kitty will not leave me alone for a second. I should have named him Klinger but I named him Rusty and he likes that just fine. I managed to give away 3 of the kittens So I am left with Callie and Rusty. I have another Cat that was kindly donated to me his name is Squirrel. No I didn't name him but it's cute. Sir Squirrel is huge. 21 lbs of huge cat. He's not fat he's just a very big cat. He is also painfully shy. He also likes to play the floor is Lava ,The only time this cat's feet hit the ground is to go potty in the litter box. Definitely a tree dweller. I guess his name actually fits since he does like to be up high and can get is some places you wouldn't think a 21 pound cat could get. Of all the cats i have had in the last 50 + years This little Ginger cat is by far the most affectionate cat I have ever had.

We had a ginger cat named Smuffy. He lived 13 years before we got him his funeral.

My female ginger tabby is a beauty 😍

I have been fortunate to have had 2 ginger cats own me. I've also had 2 black cats and a tuxedo cat. Each has had their own personality and ways of dealing with their human. The gingers seemed to be much larger and hardier felines and were very loving and patient. The Tuxedo was a lunatic and the 2 blacks work together with the goal (I think) of making me crazy. I love dogs as well but I'm getting to old to keep up with them. My cats have all been easy to care for..

We have (and have had) quite a few cats. Strays that we’ve taken in over the years. Right now I have 2 ginger cats, a cat that is white and orange, a fully black cat, a tuxedo cat with white paws and neck but charcoal colored everywhere else, a calico, and last but not least, we have a BLONDE cat. I was told he belonged in the same category as ginger cats, but he doesn’t have any markings. Solid blonde, with yellow gold eyes. He gets around on 3 legs ( found him as a kitten dragging his front leg. Vet reset it, but there’s permanent nerve damage, so he carries it like a wing). We have a lot of Amish farms around us, and I’ve seen another blonde cat that looked like mine. I fed him a few times, but haven’t seen him in a while. He had a green collar on, so maybe his humans found him and are keeping him indoors.

I have a really cute ginger cat named garfield, and he loves belly rubs and never bites.

My orange boy plays hard and sleeps hard. He’s always derping.

i Love cats.

As a orange tabby owner i can agree orange cat behavior is real

I specifically was looking for an orange female tabby and I was lucky. I found one at the local humane society. She definitely has an attitude compared to the other two (they're solid black) but she doesn't have a typical orange cat attitude.

A Street Cat named Bob was the ultimate ginger cat..! He changed his owners life, got him off drugs and starred in his own book and movies..!❤

They are charming and very loving.

Proud mamma of an orange lad. He is currently standing on top of his puzzle box 'one orange brain cell' style. He is the sweetest goober.

My orange pumpkin is a HOLY MACREL Tabby. She's 15yrs old and going strong.

Awwwww, hee hee! I had a striped male cat (Kitty), a dotted female (Dotty), and played with a friendly swirl-bummed tabby kitten...all orange! Dotty had some orange tabbies of her own, with a striped one, striped with white all on his bottom half, and torbie!

i hope can be the cat of the week.

My favourite cat (I've had three), was a ginger cat... I generally refer to them as "Gingiepusses" and they're the most well-adjusted of their species

The contrast between the two orange cats we've had in my neighborhood is dramatic. One was nasty and violent (most likely because he was left to fend for himself by his master who didn't seem to care one bit for his well-being) and the other would scurry along the road with its tail up high in excitement to cuddle and get petted. Quite sad how bad pet-owners negatively influence their cat's life.

I have a tabby cat but with a brown coat she is the biggest cuddle bug out of my two cats

I have a female orange tabby and she is adorable thank you for helping me learn more facts about my cat

You forgot to mention famous fictional ginger cats such as Garfield and the cat in Stray video game !

Our ginger princess pumpkin is so special

My ginger kitty and I watched this vid together. I've also heard that orange cats originated in Egypt. The people bred them there in honor of the Sun God, Ra and to represent him. I was also told that male orange cats tend to be food obsessed which makes them easier to train. I know my ginger kitty is totally obsessed w/ food and seems to be hungry all of the time.

Aww so sweet' I love all kitties but ginger cats are my favorite ❤

I have had three male orange tabbies & two female orange tabbies & two torries & two calicos.❤😊

I have a ginger cat his name is Dandy D Lion, he’s 10 yrs old and is very loving but he has a short fuse when I’m slow to figure out what he wants. His father was a beautiful Himalayan cat. I live in a large complex and I take him on walk within the building and grounds because it’s inclosed, he’s good at following me. Once when he was in the courtyard someone open the door and he got into the hallway, someone rang my doorbell, I opened the door and there was Dandy sitting by the door, I have no idea how long he was waiting to get back in. His voice is very soft.

I love orange cats 🐈 ❤🧡

Oh yes, thanks for all the cat facts, very interesting!

Great job!

Absolutely lovely 💕💕

I've got a beautiful gray tabby girl. She's feral so she can have....umm..tude. lol. But two years ago I was also blessed with my big orange boy. I've always had females so he was my first male. He's been such a delightful addition to my house. He's so gentle and friendly. He's huge (about the size of a 2 year old human) but I can say he's such a sweet boy. I take him out on walks and he gets excited to see the kids nearby. If you stop paying attention to him you're going to get a paw yet the claws are never out. He will gently run a paw on your arm or leg. I'm getting him trained as a therapy cat so I can take him to nursing homes or the children's hospital

My cat is part ginger and part white but all love. I've had several cats in my life and this is my first ginger and also the most affectionate cat I've had. My cat also has diabetes and my vet said gingers are more likely to develop diabetes than other cats.

I would be interested to hear personality differences. We have had 2 ginger kitties and I swear they seem to have a sense of humor. They have both been much smarter too than our other regular tabby. Could just be my imagination.

My ginger tabby has the tabby pattern all over with the signature “M” on the forehead. He has some stripes but is mostly covered with dark orange spots. He is, in my humble opinion, one of the most beautiful gingers I’ve ever seen. What makes him so special is that he has a very curly tail. It’s like he has a spring in his tail! He also has very long legs which makes him very tall. He walks like a runway model and has the strut down to a science. He definitely knows how to walk the catwalk. I’m wondering if there’s anyone else out there who has a ginger with a super curly tail? I love all cats and the wonderful uniqueness of each one! ❤❤🐈🧡🧡

I have a ginger cat. I had no idea about all the info you shared. Thanks.

My orange tabby, Oscar, would lick my hand every time I petted him. I loved that. He did that in the animal shelter when I was there looking for a kitty to adopt, and he got his forever home because he licked my hand, and he did it every since. I had him for twelve years.

😊🥰Thank you for sharing.💞🌟🕊🌺💯

My ginger Tabby is 1.5 Siamese. He acts like a guard dog! Lmao❤❤❤❤😂😂😂😂

My wife and I have 2 orange tabbies that are brother and sister, named them Fred & Ginger. They were kittens from a litter next door and wandered into our yard, so we just scooped them up and kept them. I can say that they are the most aggressive out of the 7 we have, Ginger is the real troublemaker that likes to smack around our mini Tuxedo Zoey when she’s minding her own business, or sleeping, but they are also the most affectionate, especially Fred, they are both very smart and also very talkative, and we wouldn’t give anything for any of them. If you’ve never owned a cat, then get a kitten, and I promise it will change you

Thanks for the fun facts! I have a female orange tabby and named her Ginger! 🙂

I had a ginger cat named Tiger. l cried for a week when he died.

Thanks for the info on the freckels, now this mama can relax! My boy has them on his lips and around his eyes.

I have an orange tabby female… she quite a character 😊😊

Thank you I’m about to get one

Orange tabby cats remind me of "Sam The Cat" from "Looney Tunes"!! He would always say: "EEEEYEEEE... HEY SYLVESTER... NYUCKYUCK... EEEEYEEEE..."!!

I've had 4 Gingers, all rescues...1 female and the rest male. The first one (male) jumped into my arms from the roof of a house when we met. The second one, after dismissing him one night going home from work, saw him the next night at the same stop sign, very emasiated. So I opened my driver's door. To my surprise, he climbed in and onto my lap. How can you turn that away? Our current Ginger is named Cheata because he has very long legs that remind me of that big cat, also emaciated.

Nice

Orange tabbies are my bias

Cool

All of them were great

Ginger orange cat cool
