" Happy Ginger Cat Day"
Don't forget to share photo's of your adorable GINGER CAT'S 🧡🐾😻
Ginger Cat Appreciation Day is celebrated on September 1st. The day is all about giving cats love! Ginger cats are also often referred to as “tiger” cats.
Ginger Cat Day History 🧡
Ginger Cat Appreciation Day comes around every year on September 1st. Chris Roy came up with the idea to commemorate his sweet 15-pound ginger cat, Doobert, who died in 2014. Doobert and Roy became a pair in 1997 when the software engineer found a stray kitten and adopted him. The two enjoyed almost two decades together before Doobert died at 17.
Ginger Cat Behavior 🧡
Ginger cats love to talk. Anyone who has lived with one of these orange cats will tell you that they're very talkative. While other cat species often only vocalise when they are hungry or want to go outside, gingers seem to use their voices for their own amusement as well as that of their parents. Their social vocalisations produce a variety of sounds such as chirps and trills. Ginger cats are perceived to be friendlier and more affectionate with humans. Ginger cats love to sit on their humans’ laps and even nap on their shoulders. They give plenty of headbutts, nose boops, and kisses. They are also playful, naughty and love to eat...Some Female ginger cats, however, are considered aggressive and irritable.
Famous Ginger Cat Icon 🧡
Garfield. This lazy but loveable character was created by Jim Davis back in the late 1970s. He continued on in fame through comic strips, all the way to the big screen when he starred in his own feature film, Garfield: The Movie and Cartoon.
Ginger Cat Trivia 🧡
Most ginger cats are male. Apparently, the ‘ginger gene’ which produces that orange color, exists on the X chromosome. In order for females to be ginger, they would need two of these ‘ginger’ X chromosomes. Males only need one. Ginger cat male to female ratios are approximately 3:1.
Five Different Patterns 🧡
The domestic tabby pattern is seen in many domestic cat breeds, including everything from an Abyssinian to a Maine C**n, and of course, the classic tabby. There are five various versions of the tabby pattern you may find in ginger cats:
Solid
Unspecified Tabby
Classic Tabby
Spotted Tabby
Ticked Tabby
Mackerel Tabby
Marmalade, red, orange or ginger - whatever you want to call it, ginger cats are nothing less than extraordinary. If you have a ginger cat companion, you’re in luck. Ginger Cat Appreciation Day is to take a moment to fully appreciate cats and how much pure joy they bring into the world.
