we contacted the vet and different one to find out who she belonged to because we are not cat people. The next night it was real cold so we put her in the closed garage with a blanket and made her a bed and put her food out. Then she begain to stay under the carport. we figured she had gone home, that night she showed up again and we fed her and she slept under the carport. I made her a bed in the carport and gave her food. I got my dogs in, a german shephere and a terrier and took the flash light and found the kiddy. Across the fence in a vacant lot, there was a little kiddy in the top of the pine tree. I let my dogs out and they immediately found where the meow was coming from. I got a flash light but still did not find where the meow was coming from. I heard a meow but did not know where it was coming from. One night during Christmas, we had went outside to cut out the Christmas lights from the fence. Yellow Cat by Dorothy – this is about a feral cat with a dilute orange coat."Ginger" or "marmalade" are other terms for orange in the cat fancy.Īs for the tabby coat that is another story, which is told on this page: Cat Coats Tabby. However, it seems that an orange cat does not have to be dilute to be yellow. Yellow cats are a dilute orange and the dilution comes from the incorporation of the d gene into the genotype. The O gene creates an orange cat because it converts the pigment that makes a cat black, eumelanin into orange pigment phaeomelanin.
Tortoiseshell cats are almost invariably female. Therefore males have one O or o (recessive non red) allele, while females have two: OO, Oo tortoiseshell or oo (non-red). This gene is found on the X chromosome which means its inheritance is more complicated as males have one X chromosome and females have two. Both are a little wide of the mark, I think, as they are really orange unless I have become colour blind.Īctually, I am not colour blind because the gene that causes the orange colour is unsurprisingly the sex linked “orange” (or sometimes called red) O gene. And what is interesting is that breeders and geneticists call these cats “red” cats.
