1. i don't know but i have a question about Orange kitties
is it my imagination or are they more outgoing and friendly than most cats?

i've interacted with lots of cats and the orange ones always seem to be mellow about being petted and seem to crave attention.

5. Yes, and they talk more too...well, not more than
Siamese, but more than most kitties. My orange one is friendly and fearless.

10. That makes sense.
My orange cat is one of the most talkative cats I have seen.

6. This orange tabby, who left my life a month ago yesterday
was one of the neatest creatures - four or two legged - I have ever known:




He died last month, and I still can't stand it. :cry:

Tommy was so incredibly friendly and gregarious and communicative. Lots of people commented on that aspect of his personality, it isn't just mother's love talking.


Now, I have two orange tabby females, too. One fits the true definition of "scaredy cat", she's terrified of everything, poor girl. We've had her since she was a tiny kitten (her mommacat, whom we also have, brought us her and her two sisters (we kept the whole family) when she was still nursing) and I know of nothing in her young life that would have traumatized her so badly; the other orange tabby is Marilyn Monroe reincarnated: she has long fur, and likes to stand over air conditioning vents and let her fur flutter seductively.

I think neutered male orange tabbies tend to mellow into incredible companions. If they're not neutered, they're too busy seducing all the wimmin cats.

2. Of course they do silly. Otherwise we'd call them orange rattlers.

on edit for CreekDog: I think that male orange tabs are high strung and very playful.

3. Yes. Which makes them Orangecats, and their owners Orangemen/Orangewomen
Why do you hate Ireland?
