A question about ORANGE kitties.

[jenluckenbach]

I am one of those who believe that orangie males are the BEST! But orange females............well??????? The one I have is a S*N*O*B.

I have never met an orange female, but the orange males who permanently live in the shelter where I help (one has FIV and the other one has a heart disease) are my best friends! I love these two orange guys! They are the ones with the strongest personality, they know what they want and they are very talkative.
I know it doesn't help you...sorry!

The orange females I have met are very shy and sweet and nurturing - though my experience is limited. I am not sure it has to do with coloring, although I do have a feeling about blackies, that they are especially affectionate and docile and person-oriented and gentle. So I guess it could have some color link somehow. I understand about being drawn toward a particular color - but I also understand that even if you feel drawn toward a particular color to begin with, a visit to the shelter may introduce you to a kitty of an unexpected color who wins your heart. Happy kitty-finding. I wish I could go looking for more, but we have a harmonious home balance, and we are going to maintain as is.

My female orangie is just the sweetes kitty. She's so easy going & obedient that I call her my "cat-dog". She is a little on the shy side but she has NEVER been aggressive or mean in any way shape or form, not even when strangers catch her & hold her.

My Kasie is orange female and just as lovely as they come. Her and sister Mina get along very well. Kasie is a bit more playful than Mina and loves to be held. So I would say go for it.

Now, now

My orangie female, Goldie, was the sweetest, most loving cat ever. When she died I went looking for another orange female and that is when I discovered how rare she was. I'd get another orange female in a heartbeat if I could find one when I wanted to add to my brood.

For now, having one goofy orange male is enough He balances out Mitzi's moodiness.

[Sara luvs her Tinky]

Tinky is my orange *girl* and she is definately QUEEN BEE!!! But she was my first kitty too.... so maybe that has something to do with her being sooooo territorial... But she is the SWEETEST kitty ever!! TO ME.. not to other kitties!!

Jupiter is my orange *boy* and I've never met a sweeter soul!! He is soooo sensitive.. and such the gentleman! He loooves to meet other kitties and loves his mommy too!!

[krazyaboutkatz]

My orange boy Sunny is a sweetheart. He's also the goofiest and most entertaining cat too. I had an orange female cat when I was growing up and she became moodier as she got older but I still loved her. My Starr is a Flame Point Siamese mix and he's very much a mama's boy but he's also on the feisty side. I hope that everything will work out for you. I still think that orangies are the best.

Heh, they sounds very great! See, I would also be worried for the newest kitty' sake because although Isis was third, after Tier passed away and Soni came along, she is still very on-edge and territorial even though she is friendly with my husband, me, and Soni. I wouldn't want the newest kitty to get hurt or something.

Wow, that made me remember. Troy and I adopted a cat that hung around outside (he remained an outside cat as we would not have been able to bring him with us anyways) and named him Shadow. He was pretty awesome. Both of them got along with him and my neighbor/friend two cats(brother and sister).

Awesome! There seems to be a fifty-fifty thing going on, so far. My whole point with the orange thing was that if orange females are meaner and more territorial then I really don't want to adopt one who won't get along with my Isis (even though she probably wouldn't make contact for a while) because it wouldn't be fair to either of them. But I don't see any reason that would hinder me from adopting an orange female if I that so happened to be the one I wanted. =D Thank you much!

Aw, sounds awesome! She sounds just like Soni (Soni Bunny DeathCat, as I like to call him. He is a vicious, blood thirsty, killer, don't ya know? )

Well, I am not too concerned about colour, just so long as they are nice and comfortable kitties! Soni, our tuxedo male, is the sweetest, most loving, cat that I have ever come in contact with. He is extremely sweet and docile and, thusly, would get beat up easily because he is so friendly. He's smart too! He can open doors, knows (and responds!) to "sit".
