My orange female tabby, Ginger, is my avatar. I had no idea they were rare until I joined this forum. I keep thinking that she won't be with me much longer since she turned 20 in June and occasionally goes into a "loss of appetite" mode, but I've always been able to tempt her out of it - usually with something expensive that I wouldn't buy for myself, like everyone else on PT. She's still able to jump up on my high bed to join me and to smack other cats who come near me.
