This is Jack, my daughter's cat. I love him. DD's landlord found him alone under a bush with the right side of his face chewed badly by a rat or something. He was about four weeks old. My daughter took one look at him and fell in love.

"Lord, where do these kind of "people" come from? " (in reference to sealing the kittens up in a wall.)

In both instances......Mexico.

Great idea, Petra! Yes, some of these, particularly Lito and Flamey's two, remind me strongly of Peachy and Rocky. I'll add these:

El Niño as a kitten. He grew up to be a very large cat. Gone for some years now.

Peachy looking regal.

Grimmy, my daughter Gillian's cat, with his BFF, Morgan, our Siamese mix. All playing together now on the other side of the Rainbow Bridge.

Flamey, I am so sorry to hear about Nosey Parker.

Flamingo, I am so sad to here about Nosey Parker. I hope your other kitties will stay indoors away from the coyotes.

Not a cat person myself but they are all pretty. Sorry about your cat, Flamingo. I just have to comment on the quilt Bizbee is laying on...I love the colors-so pretty!

Such beauties, each and every one of these cats. I sure have enjoyed all of the pictures. We've had two orange cats, both long gone now, but Tommy Reese was a huge 20 + pound Persian and Reginald (Reggie, also called "Fights and Bites") because we played rough with him. We have two cats left, a solid gray (Dudley aka Love Dove)) and a solid black (Tatertot).

I just love all these kitty pics, they are all so beautiful.

Linda, would love to see pics of Dudley and Tatertot if you have some!

Boris my oldest cat who is in his final weeks I think. He spends most of his time sleeping by the heat duct - in this case heat duct and sunshine.

Gibby, we have one who is hanging on by a thread. I feel for you. Boris looks very content.

Thank you Marilyn, Linda and Kath. I appreciate it. We are pretty heartbroken here, trying to focus on the others and keeping them safe in case it comes back, we're nervous and jumpy.

All the cats are gorgeous, this was a great idea, showing off the orange kids.

Kath, that was the first quilt I made- about 4.5 years ago. Cats seem to really love quilts. They must feel good to lie down on.

Flamingo, I am so very sorry. It is awful to lose them.

ooh so sad I am so sorry for your loss. We have coyote problems here too. Neighbors have had loses due to them.

This thread was a wonderful idea. Wish I could get my pictures from Photobucket but I've tried long enough and completely disgusted.

But did anyone else notice anything else almost all these kitties have in common, other than their color?

Thank you Petra and Raven, I appreciate it. This is our first coyote/cat encounter in over 20 years, we are shocked.

Breen, the fact that they are almost all males? I think about 75% of orange cats are male. We had a rare female one a few years ago, Freddie Wheat. She was very pale orange.

My kittens Harriet & Agnes. The first picture is when I got them, the lady said they were 6 weeks. They both had infected eyes, when I took them to the vet she thought they were about a month old. They're happy & healthy now, have been spayed & had all their shots. Harriet is the all orange kitty, Agnes is orange & white.

My "Desi" won't stand still. I enjoyed all the pics.

Yes, Flamingo, they are almost all males--and all individually beautiful. I read that once and this post pretty much proves it to be true.

Any more pictures?

I've really loved seeing all the pictures of these beautiful cats.

Maybe we should do another one of other colors....or just call it
"Show us your kitties". :))

Flamey, I am just so sad for you about Nosey Parkers, especially in light of the fact that I just worked on a pic of him last week. He was such a beauty. (((hugs)))

Jodi-

Finally able to get one from PB. This is Pistol Pete (Petie) when he was younger. He doesn't get up on the desk or tables anymore (often) now that he's a gentleman.

Petie is adorable, very handsome.

Thanks, Jodi. I'm just a mess, I miss her so much it hurts. Woody's devastated, she was such a special little cat and she entertained us constantly. The other cats are befuddled, too.

Here is my pretty boy Tango with freckles on his nose! I fell in love with his picture online and adopted him the next day!! :~)

Flamey, I too am so sorry for the loss of your cat. When we lived in Ohio, we lost some cats to hawks and weasels. In fact, a big hawk tried to get our little Yorkie, but luckily we were outside near her and scared it off. Our cats now are strictly house cats, as there are coyotes around here too.

Having a thread of "Your Kitties" regardless of color is a great idea. Now I just need to get a picture of our cats and figure out how to get it posted here.

Great pics - orange cats are so cool.

I've read this thread when it was only half of what it is now. I enjoyed seeing all of your cutie cats.

I don't own any but do have a few that hang around my yards. I know they're house broken and have been left behind when people moved away. They're sweet and I don't mind having them around so long that I wouldn't need to take care of them. I think the neighbors feed them. They're all big and fat :)

It's so funny, they are so smart. They know how to trigger the sensor flood light in the back yard. As soon as it goes off after 15 minutes, it comes on again. This light is my my minivan and they like to climb and stay on the roof of the van when it rains.

Anyway, today, I saw an orange one! I never noticed of their colors up until this thread started. LOL...

Flamingo - I am so sorry about the loss of your cat to a coyote. That has happened to us in the past as well. Of our current cats one is an indoor cat and the other just goes to our back deck. He used to go further but I think something spooked him - probably a coyote or a raccoon so he now stays pretty close to the backdoor!

Each and every cat here is so very special and beautiful!

Wish I could share a picture of my sweet Red, a rescue who looked so long, athletic and exotic. He was so very relaxed and loveable..a beautiful short hair red tabby.

Flamey, it breaks my heart to hear about your sweet Nosey Parker...so sad and tragic. I don't blame you for being worried about the others.

Thank you all for sharing pics of your beautiful kitties!!

Flamingo -- I'm so sorry about Nosey Parker

I found this old thread of our orange kitties when I was searching for pictures of my Garfield. I have enjoyed seeing it again!

Oh Raven, I'm happy it gave you a few minutes of pleasure! You certainly can use it!!

I'm glad you got to see Garfield again. Let's add some more! Here's my buff kitty, Murphy. Cause you can never have too many orange cats to make you smile.

Seeing these pictures of orange cats brought back sweet memories of my kitty Buddha. We adopted him from a shelter and

Raven, I'm so glad you found this thread too. I haven't seen it before but have greatly enjoyed seeing everybody's orange kitties. It got me searching for a picture of my orange boy, Rico. He was born in 1974, in my laundry basket, and he passed away in 1993! Almost 20 years old!! I took this picture with my iPhone. The original was taken by my brother almost 40 years ago. He printed it and gave it to me for my birthday, I think. Rico was probably 3 or 4 in this picture and he has a rubber ball between his front legs. I probably still have that ball around here somewhere. :)

Oh wow Rico looks very much like Garfield..

They are all sobeautiful and sweet.

Here's Henry

OMGOSH...I'm sooo in love!! I had orange kitties growing up and miss them so...

This is my new Grandkitty...He's four weeks old and his name is Oliver...they call him Ollie! (posing with my granddaughter!)

That is just precious!

murraysmom - I love Rico's face - there's such an old-world all-knowing look about it.

Our Orange Julius lived until he was 20 as well and was such a great cat.

My Garfield

These look like our first cat Reece..Great pictures!

I once had two orange cats. The first I got on Halloween as a kitten and named him Pumpkin. He lived around 14 years. Then I got Louie as a kitten and he lived a long life too. Pumpkin was a lighter orange but Louie was a deep orange tiger and was a real brat. The orange boys are characters.

Does half-orange count? :-)
