Are Orange Cats Usually Male Or Female

The lifespan of orange tabby cats depends on their particular breed and not cover patterns.

Are orange cats usually male or female. Heres how it works. Calico and tortoiseshell cats however are almost always female. There is no monetary value per se associated with a female orange tabby cat.

The gene that codes for orange fur is on the X chromosome. It is often seen under tabby stripes. Well thats not entirely true.

Which in turn explains why time and time again theyve been labeled as the friendliest of all cats. Gray Gray is a diluted black. Tortoiseshell tortie is a mixed blend of orange and black or a diluted version with gray and buff.

However a female cat that is orange has to inherit the red factor from both parents whereas a male cat can inherit it only from the mother. And like many others in this thread she is bigger and heavier than the average cat at nearly 11 lbs. Not at all there are plenty of orange female cats.

The gene that causes this type of orange coloration of the coat is only found on the X chromosome the female. Well its not that orange female cats are rare it is simply that an orange cat is more likely to be a male. Orange cats are usually male.

My orange cat Dusty is female and I also had heard years ago that orange in females is rare that most orange cats are male. In fact up to 80 percent of orange tabbies are male making orange female cats a bit of a rarity. But just as cats are individuals this theory doesnt always hold true.
