Fact of fiction: Are orange cats more prone to weight gain?

There’s no solid proof that coat color leads to extra pounds. But male cats, who just so happen to have orange fur more often, tend to have a higher chance of weight gain due to early neutering and bigger builds.

Which cats might need extra playtime?

Research points to a few groups that might need a little more encouragement to stay active:
😼 Neutered males – Slower metabolism, bigger appetite.
🐈‍⬛ Indoor cats – Less adventure, more lounging = a chill lifestyle.
🐾 Certain breeds – British Shorthairs, Maine C***s, and Ragdolls are naturally built for comfort.

Why weight management matters?

A healthy weight can help prevent issues like diabetes, arthritis, and heart problems. Simple tweaks like portion control and regular playtime can keep your cat agile, happy, and ready to pounce on that laser dot. 😻
