\"\"Today we\u2019re honoring the cat known as ginger, marmalade, tiger\u2014the orange tabby. This, as you know, is not a breed, but a color with some interesting aspects. Did you know that 80% of orange tabbies are male? Yes, it\u2019s rather rare to meet up with a female. Some of the most famous orange tabbies were Morris, the cat in the cat food commercials, and Garfield, who is still delighting people in the comics. There was a \"\"famous orange tabby in Alaska. He passed away maybe ten years ago, but he was the mayor of a small town called Talkeetna. Yes, he held office there for twenty years before he passed. We visited Talkeetna just before \"\"he passed and asked to have an audience with him, but he was too ill then to have company. I\u2019ve included a photo of him here\u2014it was on a postcard I picked up in the town.<\/p>\n

There are orange tabbies in some breeds of \"\"cat: Maine coon, Manx, Ocicat, Turkish Angora, Egyptian Mau, Rex and others.<\/p>\n

Have you ever seen a solid orange cat? You may think you have, but in reality, evidently, there is no such animal. If you see an orange cat, there are stripes in there somewhere. There are different shades of orange tabby\u2014very pale shades to very deep shades called mahogany. And when you meet an orange \"\"tabby\u2014or any color tabby\u2014be sure to check out the pattern on his or her forehead\u2014sometimes you\u2019ll see a well-defined M. Often, however, the M is only partial, as it was with my sweet dilute tabby, Lily.<\/p>\n
