I don't understand why the woman refuses to believe that I have an orange female cat. So I thought I'd come here and ask some experienced breeders about the situation. Perhaps you folks can explain this to me.
Thank you kindly,

I have an orange female cat as well and she is a polydactyl. They are unusual, though rare isn't the word I would use. The woman you are dealing with isn't as educated as she should be. I suppose I could let Prowler get pregnant, but I know better because I rescue. She will be spayed soon and until then is safe inside with all my other cats who are both neutered and spayed.

Trust me.. Squeak's getting pregnant was in no way intentional. She accidentally got outside when my son let the dogs out and we didn't notice her gone for a couple of hours. Obviously this woman is warped.. it's just driving me nuts.
What's a polydactyl?

Polydactyl-having more than the normal number of digits.
I had a female orange kitty when I was little.

About 10% of orange/red tabbies are female. Here is mine (Scarlett), who is a decendent of a female red tabby.

Why would it? She walks, leaps plays just fine. She is my second poly I ever owned and I have to say I find them remarkably intelligent, fun and fearless. Bartee was pure black and the only problem we ever had with him was at 4 I had to take him in to get him declawed partially- by that I mean his second dewclaw that was high up off the ground, the claw kept growing into his pad causing the pad to bleed. We tried to keep the nail trimmed back, but on these cats, the abnormality causes the claws to turn more inward than other cat's. Finally the vet just said he should declaw the dew claw and he did, and it never bothered Bartee again. Had it been any other claw, I would have kept fighting with it, but this is a nail not attached to a toe or a bone, just a filmy piece of ligament and tissue.
I love red females, and I'm so jelous. I can't wait to breed one(Persian) one of these days!
Your girl is beautiful, btw.
She probably gets around real sure footed to say the least lol
My daughter also has a orange female tabby

She's only poly on ONE foot?!?!?
Hey I was wondering isn't a Tabby cat the grey, black and whitish striped cats and Tiger the orange striped kind? Or does Tabby refer to both?
Just curious...That's what I always thought...

Tabby refers to the markings of a cat, there are four types of tabby: Classic (swirls), Mackerel (stripes), Spotted, and Ticked or Agouti. Breeders do not use the term "tiger." Tabbies can be any number of colors including Brown, Red, Silver, ect.
It is not impossible to have a red (orange) female, I have one myself. A red cat is more likely to be male than female, but I wouldn't say a red female is rare, like a male calico. I'm willing to bet if you said you had a male calico this lady would say that was impossible, either that or you should sell it to a breeder for lots of money!
Ahhh I see, thanks for clearing that up
theres an advert in my local paper for an orange female cat "ideal for breeding" £125!
correct me if i'm wrong but an orange female wouldnt guarentee orange female kittens would it?
I had an orange female tabby who now lives with my ex-boyfriend's parents. Her name is Taeja (pronounced Tay-juh).
Interesting that I happened across this thread ... I recently took in a stray orange female cat, although I'm unsure of the breed. She's a long haired, orange, very soft haired cat, with a ruff and a small face with yellow eyes ... I was looking through different breeds online, and all I came up with was a tabby .. I used tohave one, and the facial features are quite different between the two and the length of hair and whiskers are much longer ... any ideas?
Princess is a female
My sister also has a female orange tabby.
