Really?! WOW – some serious recessive gene thing going on there – orange cats are rarely, rarely female. Even rarer for an orange female cat to be fertile – they are often sterile. We had one though – her name was Mama Cat. Decades ago, my sister begged our Dad for a cat. A neighbor’s barn cat had a litter of kittens. She dragged my Dad over there, and he finally gave in, pointing to the yellow one, saying “you can have that one”. In his wisdom of animals, he figured it was male. If not male, at least sterile. With his wisdom of animals, he should have checked. She was most definitely female, and most definitely not sterile. Half a dozen litters of kittens later, he finally had her spayed. She was an excellent mother though, and when she no longer had kittens to hunt for, she would present our dog with a dead animal. Every. Single. Day. Is that love, or what? :-) Orange tabby females?
