Orange tabby cats eat what other domesticated cats eat. Orange tabbies, however, are different in how they initiate love and loudly purr with delight when they are happy and content. They show affection only on their terms and only when they feel like it. But, what makes orange tabbies a little more odd or weirder than your usual cats is that they show affection openly and willingly.Ĭats are known to be indifferent and aloof. The term “weird” is not just applicable to orange tabby cats but to all cats in general. You can expect orange tabbies to be more tolerant with children and may even play with your kids willingly. They are more playful and friendly than other cats, especially if they have been socialized when they were still a kitten. Orange tabbies are not just good cats, they are great cats that make excellent companions because they love being with you and loving showing affection. However, this also puts orange tabbies at a higher risk of becoming unhealthy and obese. They enjoy their food so much that leaving food in their bowls is always an invitation for an eat-all-you-can party. True to the depiction of Garfield, orange tabbies love to eat. Often called marmalade or ginger cats, orange tabby cats have also created a reputation for being enthusiastic eaters. They love to relax and seem to have a prominent couch-potato gene that takes their napping, sleeping, and stretching under the sun to a whole new level. They are also more vocal than their other cat cousins. They are perhaps one of the most easygoing pets and certainly the friendliest of cats. These orange felines have also been labeled as Velcro cats because, unlike other cats who prefer being alone, orange tabby cats enjoy cuddles and love giving snuggles. They are more affectionate to their owners and can spend all of their time just being with their humans. Orange tabby cats are labeled as one of the friendliest and most loving cats. The tabby cat falls under various other breeds such as Persian, Munchkin, American Bobtail, Manx, Somali, American Curl, Ragdoll, and Maine Coon. The characteristics of an orange tabby cat are more likely to be based on how it was trained and raised as well as on its breed. Given that the orange tabby is not considered a breed, it is difficult to make any generalizations about its temperament or personality. And an orange tabby cat is a cat with these patterns on an orange coat.
