For a long time I was under the impression that all completely orange
(as opposed to calicos with some orange) cats were males, just as the
vast majority of all torties are female. But I have several strays
that hang out in my back yard, and I've seen what I believed to be an
undersized male nursing her kittens! Are orange females more common
than I thought? Thanks for any info.
Oh, and the kitty is sort of deep orange on top with some tabby orange
stripings on the flanks.


What great photographs!

That cat looks just like my red tabby, TeddyCat. When we first got Teddy
at age 10 weeks, the people who gave her to us thought she was male. The
vet wasn't sure, so we named her Theodore. However, when we took her in
to be spayed, it became apparent that she is in fact a TheodorA, so Teddy.

Here's a pic:
