He must have been absolutely adorable as a kitten. Well trained house cat that loves catting around outside. Won't use the litterbox but uses the great outdoors all seasons.

Three facts not mentioned. 1. The Vikings were particularly fond of ginger tabbies, and you can still trace Viking settlements in the UK by the high percentage of marmalade moggies in the area. 2. "Tabby" cats were named after a particular sort of watered silk, called "atabi". According to John Aubrey, prior to the introduction of tabby cats from Cyprus*, cats in England were a "spotted or gallipot blew". *("Pussy cat" is a corruption of Cyprus, or "prussy" cat) 3. I have owned black, buff tabby and torties, as well as a ginger cat, and can say, hand on heart, that gingers are the Best Cats in the World, affectionate, playful and with a highly developed sense of humour.

My second cat was a ginger named Harley. Yes, he was named after the Harley-Davidson motorcycles-even when he was a kitten, he had a purr you could hear clear across the room, to the point where my husband said “he sounded like a Harley-Davidson stuck in neutral!” We had thought he was female due to his genital structure, but the vet then thought he was a hermaphrodite due to it not looking like either one. It wasn’t until we had him fixed that he was determined once and for all to be male (they neutered him, and also performed a spay incision just to make sure he didn’t have a uterus lurking around inside too). Good thing the name we gave him was gender-neutral! But he was an absolute sweetie-he was a consummate lapaholic, and he loved to cuddle up to us in the bed at night. But we HAD to have our hand out for him to cuddle up with-if we dared to keep our hands under the covers, he’d give us a smack in the face with his paw to get our attention and demand to see our hand! He crossed over 12 years ago due to a combination of diabetes and several infections relating to that-I miss him, but the three cats I have now fill the hole in my heart. RIP Harley. 1998-2009

My folks had a similar tabby cat when I was a kid in the 70's. He/she was a stray and got preggers. Well they were gifted with a litter of kittens soon after and when it was time for the big clip, he/she went to the vet. Vet was firmly convinced said cat was male, but my parents insisted...no, said cat was female, there's a litter of kittens at home to prove it. Cat barely stuck around long enough to wean the kids, stitches were still in when it took off. Not a big purrer like yours though.

I've had at least two ginger tabbies in my life, both boys. Merlin was brought home with his brother Macgyver (they were full blooded brothers, although Macgyver was black and long-haired), and he lived with us until after we moved in next to our grandparents place. Then he started wandering around and we found that he was visiting an older lady down the street, and he gradually started staying longer and longer until he eventually left completely, only coming back to our place for pets every few months. He made her so happy, and he always walked with a swagger, a big happy belly, and a fancy collar. Russet came to us a few years ago after my family and I moved to Kentucky. It was three days after I lost my calico cat, and I was sitting next to where we buried her at night when I heard meowing from across the street. No joke, my first thought was that my beloved calico had come back to me, but instead, it was a thin, friendly ginger tabby boy. I fed him and he stuck around, he's a brother to my two other cats, a menace to the rodents in the pastures, and an absolute lover boi who will sit on you and purr. I love all my kitties, and each has quite the story to tell. Sry about the long post, have a potato 🥔.

I have 10 cats. One of them is a ginger and white rescue. All my cats are affectionate but he is the most loving of them all. He's the last cat I see at night, snuggled up to me purring loudly and the first cat I see in the morning, his face pushed into mine and a paw gently patting me.

I just got a 12 week old Egyptian Mau tabby and she (yes, she) has absolutely taken so well to the family. We're a family with four children and a disabled uncle living with us, I was a little nervous about her having so many people around. She had a week just with me and the uncle, then the kids and mom came home, and she's taken to everyone so well. Right now she's standing next to the stairs yelling at me because it's bed time.

The cat in Breakfast at Tiffany's didn't have a name - the closest thing it had was "Cat" or "Cat Without a Name." It's a major, symbolic point. ❤️

You forgot one famous movie: "a street cat named Bob" based on true events! My Luis is a ginger cat and I love him so much...thank you.

I think in the 60s there was an orange tabby cat called Marmalade, or Rhubarb. There was a beautiful Siamese cat that in moves back then. I've had cats all my life. I found, they found me, a little orange tabby female in the 70s. Grey tabby, orange male tabby named, yes, Tigger in the 90s. Black cats, black and white cats, all colors, mostly domestic shirt hairs. I love them. Cats❤ , one Calico too, female. Now I have, my favorite, Tuxedo Black &White cat, with big white paws, Timmy, Black & White female cat Bunny, and a Tortoiseshell colored female kitty. MEOW 🐱😻

I had an orange tabby named Rhubarb when I was a teen. When my family and I moved out of state decades ago, I couldn't take him with us because he was attached to the house. The new homeowners took him in.

It seems like my orange tabby 🐈 has no idea he’s a cat as he comes to you when addressed by name only, plays fetch and loves to get dirty lol

That's the legend I've heard and love. I always refer to my cats as orange, I live in the USA. My friends from England refers to them as Ginger.

The version, I heard, was that the M on some cats' foreheads was the initial for Mohammed who blessed them with a touch. It is also said that, once, a cat fell asleep on the sleeve of his robe. He was so reluctant to disturb the sleeping cat when he needed to move that, instead, he cut his sleeve off. I'm a British, Northern European, 51 year old woman. Despite my generally Christian schooling - I've never heard the version where it was Jesus. Is this a particularly American idea? It doesn't matter. It's all folklore. The M shaped darker markings, above the eyes, have probably been evolutionarily selected for because they confer some sort of advantage. Perhaps it aids cats that have hunted under sunlight. I just find it curious that there are two versions doing the rounds.

That's very interesting! 😺 I'm not sure if the Christian version is mainly from the United States or not. We are born and raised in the U.S. and we have only heard of the Christian version. But I suspect there are more than just those two versions of the story out there. Also, you make a great point about the evolutionary advantage. That sounds totally possible! 🤔

@@KittyLovesGlover They all have spirits. Right before my young cst Sweets suddenly passed away, I called her name "Sweets, Sweets!" and to my surprise her tail went up. I took it as she was crossing over and saw God.. She was only 1y & 4mos. She had coughed the day before this big cough, next day she seemed fine, went to sleep woke up and 8.5hrs later suddenly passed away. My vet thinks it was aspiration pneumonia from dry food that must have got stuck in her lungs or something. I was feeding Purina One Select with dry & soft pieces. Never again! I know more now very bad ingredients and only good quality wet food and now just starting to feed my cats freeze dried food. Its coming on 3yrs now that my little Sweets passed. She was small too, abt 4lbs, but solid and ultra soft. "Bunny" is her nickname bc her fur is/was extra soft. I hate usung past tense bc they are all "alive" in Heaven. Really cant believe it. I was devastated at the time bc it was so sudden & unexpected. She was fine on Monday and died suddenly Thurs night! (Aug 29, 2018) Every single day is a gift from God! I always say cats are gifts from God. All pets. One time I felt in my spirit that my little cats had angel wings on them. I bet they do! Pls adopt, foster or very easy pls share on Facebook any cats you or your Fb friends see who are in shelters and need homes. Most of my Fb friends can care less and are too self absorbed with their own lives. I'm talking abt being too selfish to share. As Christians we are supposed to turn from the ways of the world, turn away from being selfish and become selfless and help those in need, ppl & esp homeless pets. Always best to be kind to others esp pets in need. God Bless and stay safe. We are all His children, furry ones too. ❤❤❤

You forgot Morris! Our big orange tabby would have been 25 years old, but left us due to cancer five months before his birthday. He was a wonderful cat. A big and furry hunk of love. He is still very much missed to this day.

I had a orange and white cat. So affectionate and friendly. I love that cat. He passed many years now but never forgot him.😻🙏🏽❤

They're also much bigger than their littermates, incredibly friendly and can sometimes be almost dog-like in their clumsiness. Incredibly lovely cats

The female has always been a much smaller, whinier, the sweetest, comes when I call her. They’re just so unique I love it. Little girl just now came to lay on my chest. 🥰

They're the ones appear in TV commercials & movies the most as they're really easy going & have good tempers usually ! They're one of the most affectionate if not the most ,funny & goofy ,but also very smart !!! I loved those orange cats in my all time fave ' Breakfast at Tiffany's ' !! They were great actors !! 👏👏👏 They used orange cats in many many movies including ' Alien 1' 👽 Orange cat's nickname you forgot to mention is TANGERINE 🍊 !!! 💜💜💜💜🥁🐉🎵🎶💕💞

Orange tabby cats are so adorable, my boy Stimpy was such a loving cuddly boy, he had such a sweet nature. I miss him so much x

They forgot two of my favorite famous ginger cats- Jonsey from _Alien_ and Skidmark from _Fear the Walking Dead_! 🐱

You forgot one other cat and it was Rhubarb. The movie was about the cat being the owner of the Brooklyn baseball team with Ray Maland.

Forgot one famous cat from 9-Lives commercials from the 70’s to the 80’s. Morris!!

The nickname Ginger works for my orange cat I had as there were times he would produce a smell like ginger (the spice). I loved that! Made me want to have ginger bread cookies.

All of the information was totally appreciated. Thank you very much for helping us decide!!

My orange boy was the best company I could ever have. Super intelligent and super sweet. We had hundreds of voyages together on my boat. I miss the evenings of snacks together and exploring islands. Rest in peace old buddy.

TY for the good teaching about Yahushuah ben David, our Savior, and His mother Miriam (Mary) and the Orange Tabby Cat helping out keeping the infant warm. Wonderful!

As an extra-biblical and apocryphal legend, its veracity may be on par with Robin Hood, King Arthur, and the talking horse of Achilles in the Iliad.

The cat in Breakfast at Tiffany's is named Orangey but his character was just named "Cat". It was a huge plot point that illustrated Holly's unwillingness to settle down or commit to anything

Yes. Audrey Hepburn's character refused to name him because she said they were both nameless wanderers. In the movie she had given herself a name that was not her birth name and even had another alias for her jail visits.

Orangey was also in the movie Rhubarb ten years earlier, he won Patsy awards for both roles, It is the animal equivalent to the Oscar.

A few weeks ago we lost our female . She was the most precious cat we’ve ever owned. Very Alfa to everybody in the family . We miss her dearly !

Two orange babies, Bubba who is deep orange and his brother Thing who is more orange buff.

I hadn't heard how tabby cats got their M and I love the story. Ginger cats are awesome.

My ginger boy, Rusty, named after my ginger brother’s childhood nickname, so called because he had so many freckles my mom said he looked like he had been left out in the rain and rusted, has a very big, unique personality. He’s quite talkative, especially in the middle of the night. He loves to steal things, like a net bag of cutie tangerines off the kitchen counter and a large styrofoam cup with a straw in it. He also brings me pieces of mail and once managed to drag a small book into my room and left it for me. He also steals pens, pencils, socks, plastic grocery bags, unopened envelop packages, and magazines. He climbs into and gets stuck in odd places, like under a very low dresser. I could hear him but couldn’t see him as he rowred his distress. He’s extremely affectionate and jumps on my bed the second I lie down; he flops on his back with his arms and legs akimbo, purring loudly as I rub his belly. He gets up in my face and gives me kisses on my eyes, nose and chin. If he wants pets he sit next to me and pats my arm with soft paws and then slightly unsheathed claws if I don’t love him quickly enough. He’s extremely jealous and gives the other cats a hard time if they get attention from me. He’s a big scaredy cat at loud noises, especially fireworks, thunder and loud cars. He’s the man and head of a household with myself, my small female dog and three other cats, all female. He is a special little man and I adore him.

After watching this video I feel very lucky to be owned by 3 orange girls. One was born here in my closet. One I got when I went to get my car windows tinted and the third one ran in my house this past December 27th when I opened the door to feed the outside strays. I absolutely love them all!

How dare you leave out "HEATHCLIFF THE CAT"😾😾😾🙀🙀🙀

"Tomasina" the cat from the Disney movie was left off your list.

I have 2 gingers. Both adopted me. The older one is Jonesey and the kitten is JJ (Jonesey jr). Completely adore them along with all my other fur children

Awwww i just love orange tabby cats.so playful very lovable and like to cuddle up with you and purr up a storm.very smart kitties My friend has a orange tabby.he is a big boy and i love him soooo much.

I can’t believe you left out Morris the cat which is the first one I thought of. He was made famous from appearing in the Purina cat food commercials. I think it was Purina.

I am holding an orange tabby kitten while watching this vlog/ my cousin saw him huddled in a driveway by an abandoned home, but was not able to stop, the next morning he was in her driveway begging/ she reached out to me and I took him in/ he couldn't have been more than 5 weeks old. it has been 1 1/2 weeks now, and he is doing well. I have owned many tabbies over the years, mostly brown, but he is my first orange tabby.

My little Roo was an orangey! She only weighed about 5 pounds. She's been gone for 5 years and I still miss her so much.

His character was in "Alien" and "Aliens". He didn't go on the ship in the second movie though. I don't know if it was the same cat both times.

I have an orange tabby named Richard and he’s something. He’s quite smart whenever he wants to be fed or be let outside

I have two long-haired orange tabbies. They are 11 year old siblings from the shelter. I don't think you can find more affectionate and loving fur babies. They like to watch TV with me and the male follows me around like a toddler. I love the stuffing out of them.
