But orange tabbies are more than just a pretty face – they possess fascinating traits, genetics, and personalities that set them apart from other cats. With their vibrant orange fur and unique patterns, they never fail to catch the eye and warm the hearts of those who encounter them. I now have mostly whites & grays and Velvet, the former Blackjack, but Mister will always be one of my heart kitties.Orange tabby cats have a captivating charm that has made them one of the most popular and beloved cat breeds. Then from the side of the house, like a bowling ball scattering pins, came Mister. When I came closer, I saw they were all raccoons and not small. One night I came home & parked at the end of the drive to see what looked like several cats in a ritual at my doorstep, rising up on their read legs and dropping to all fours. He became the benign alpha cat to the feral kitten he trained to be his successor, and the litter of four that came after her. He brought home a runaway black cat whose owner called Blackjack. He literally tried to speak English, concentrating very hard when I spoke to him. Not only was he one of the sweetest & most affectionate cats I've known, but he was the smartest.

That's how Mister Protector came into my life. After a bit, I made a deal with him to guard the food dishes & fluffy little Kelly. I tried to shoo him, but he kept smiling as if to say You Don't Really Mean It. In truth, there sat a large male orange tabby, sitting by her dish, smiling at me. I left her food, but she would not come near me until the night she ran into the house, yelling that someone was eating HER food. When I bought my house, it came with a fluffy wimp orange tabby girl, left behind by th former owners. Get a orange cat if you have the opportunity.You`ll never regret it.

I will say upon visits at my brothers apartment Frito has calmed down a lot. And I was able to adopt more cats so all is well that ends well. Don't ask me.įrito now lives with my brother and they love eachother deeply. It was at that point my brother fell in love with Frito. He bit my brother on his eye when he made kissy faces at him. Exorcist style he would turn his head and hiss at me when I trimmed his nails. And at first he was sweet.But then come 3 months kitten time he turned into the meanest cat I have ever met. Weighing in at 12 ounces, he was set to be euthanized as he was part of a sick litter. Murphy died and I went to go work at a shelter I said after working there for quite sometime "The next cat I get will be an Orange tabby because they are SOOOOO SWEET!"
