Some orange cat facts! ๐Ÿงก

ginger-cats_1696448285.jpg

Ginger cats are more likely to be male than female - this is because the โ€œginger geneโ€ which produces the orange color is on the X chromosome. Females (xx) have two X chromosomes and so need two copies of this gene to become ginger, whereas males need only one (xy) ๐Ÿˆ

This means that around 80% of ginger cats are male ๐Ÿพ

Ginger tom cats father tortoiseshell or ginger females. If both parents are ginger, then they will have all ginger kittens ๐Ÿˆ

ginger-tabby-1-grande_1696448298.jpg

Pheomelanin is the pigment responsible for the ginger colour in cats (this is the same pigment that causes red hair in humans). The amount of this pigment reflects how intense the ginger colour of the cat is ๐Ÿพ

Although early socialization plays the biggest role in an adult catโ€™s personality, there is some anecdotal evidence that says catsโ€™ personalities vary between different colors. Male Ginger cats have a reputation of being assertive, vocal and active. Female Ginger cats are known to be calmer and quieter ๐Ÿˆ

It's ok to not know the answer to that. It's a hard question to answer tbh ๐Ÿ˜•ย 
It does look serious! Kitty got those mittens spread out and ready to handle whatever comes their way!ย
