Just because that cat isn't more of a red/sorrel doesn't mean they are all supposed to be like that. Not all havana browns are the same color, it doesn't mean one is wrong or one is right. One may be closer to the standard, but they are still accepted. I know more about Somalis then Aby's so I am not an expert, but they are almost the same, but most the reds/sorrels I see are the lighter richer color, yet I have also seen some that look more ruddy then anything. All CFA and TICA shows I have been to they are lighter, all except one cat. So it just differs on their blood lines I guess. I don't mean to offend you here, this is just a difference of opinions.
really? We don't call it ginger either for hair,at least not out here, it is red, or auburn, or strawberry blonde...haha I guess we use so many different words all across the world, and they all have the same meaning!Originally posted by Ziggy
It's the same with people with ginger hair, we don't call it red hair. If you say that, people think you literally mean red, as in dyed pillar box red
Interesting discussion on color terms. I have "red" hair. It looks ginger color, but I've always been called a "redhead". I like to call ginger/orange/deep yellow tabby cats "reds".Originally posted by Ziggy

Perhaps this is a matter of terminology used in different countries. I think "ginger" is much more interesting and accurate than red.
So, are you saying that orange and white is quite rare in females or only white?
Actually there is no such thing as orange purebred cats. red is the correct term.
we've never owned a red female but have had red bicolor females. Not exactly rare.

Thank you for the clarification. Sierra is red and white, and whether or not her color is unique, she's a rare jewel to me!
Exactly, one is closer to the standard, therefore his coloring is more of what you want on that particular cat. If you had two red Abys who are identical other than their coloring, one has a deep, rich color and one has a sort of washed out color the deep one is better. Sure, you can show the washed out one, but it isn't going to do well against the rich one. Last weekend I was at a show where ther was a Aby Premiership class of 6; two ruddy's, two reds, a blue and a fawn. One of the "ruddys" was an open, he had very poor coloring, the standard calls for a coat to be "ruddy brown (burnt-sienna), ticked with various shades of darker brown or black" this cat had a very lightly colored coat, not burnt-sienna, almost like the ground color of a cinnamon spotted ocicat. Judges "accepted" this but they penalized it because it had a coldness to its coat. The color isn't "wrong" but it certainly isn't right either.
Good to hear Sierra's Mommy!
Pictures??
Pictures??
Sam,
Thank you for your interest in seeing pictures of my sweet baby girl! I seem to be having a difficult time showing her pictures. How did you get your babies under your name? I haven't been able to make Sierra her own special page because it says my pictures are too large..how do I make them smaller???help!

To make your photos smaller, you need photo editing software. There are lots of options. ACDSee (Classic, i.e. the plain jane version) comes bundled with the HP Photosmart cameras, and it's a good piece of work -- very user friendly. It's also readily available for not a lot of $$, and the latest version, which has more bells and whistles, is not a great deal more expensive.
However, there are lots of others, too. Whichever you settle on, you need to find a feature called "resize" or something to that effect, and make the largest side of the image no more than 400 pixels. That will give you an image the site will accept for most situations. You should make those images even smaller, though, if you want to put them in your signature, say 200 pixels on the largest side.
And to put them in your signature, you also need to find a site to host them, which allows remote linking. I use either Village Photos or Ripway which are not expensive. Some members have also found free hosting services, though I wonder how long they'll stay that way: Village Photos was free when I started there, but they changed their account structure so that the free account does not allow remote linking anymore.
Anyway, there's some info to get you started. Others will undoubtedly reply with their favourite software and hosting sites. Details about how to actually get that edited picture into your post are in this thread.
And we'll look forward to seeing your pictures. Good luck!

Wow! Thanks! That's a lot of information! I look forward to putting it to good use!
Can anyone tell me if Maine Coon's can be red? My daughters and I were touring a friends wildlife art studio/factory last week when we met a their resident lion/cat. He had been dumped off with his sister at the front door several years ago, when he was just a few weeks old. The staff raised them on bottles letting them sleep in a desk drawer until they were big enough to get around. Now, the pair of kitties own and operate the business......LOL....
But my point is, he is red, long-haired and HUGE!!! He weighs 28 pounds! (He is not fat) and stands nearly 13 inches at the shoulder. I had a fit over him - but because of the strange way they came by him, no one knows what breed he is. His sister is a large cat too, but not nearly that large.
I tried to convince my buddy (and everyone who works for him) that the male would be much happier living with me, LOL... but they didn't buy it. Oh well, anyone know where I might find one like him?

Hi SierrasMommy, you have received some excellent advice from Fran!
Good luck.
Angela, yes indeed Maine coons can be red, infact they come in every color possible. Good luck finding one. Maine coons are lovely cats.

My little ones came from a litter of 4. Their mother is a grey tabby with no white on her, just grey with black stripes, their father is orange and white, his orange spots are tabby striped. The 4 kittens are: one solid orange male tabby (My Bailey), a mostly white female with a few orange spots that are tabby striped and her tail is orange and white striped, another orange and white female who looks just like her Dad (my Abby) and one female that looked like a calico when born but now she's 8 weeks old and she is spotted all over, however since she has gotten older her black spots have turned to grey/black tabby striped spots mixed with orange and white spots. So that is one orange male to three females in this litter. The mother's last litter had a grey tabby, a creamy orange tabby, a darker orange tabby and a black one, not sure what sex they turned out to be, they went to a foster home and were all adopted out.
Welcome to TCS...are there plans to have this cat fixed?? If this cat is not part of a pedigreed breeding program...it would be best for her to be spayed. I had a friend whose cat kept getting out and getting pregnant and she ended up having 5 litters before she was spayed...but if I had known then what I do now, I would have driven the mom to get spayed before she could end up with so many litters.

We have been trying to trap her, but so far she is smarter than the traps, so are the two males that live here. I got some tips from one of the local feral rescue places I deal with and we are going to try again....
When I was breeding my rexes, I never had a red female - all reds were males. But the only reason was the female tortie/calico was bred to black or blue. I had one breeding to a cream male but didn't get any red/cream females; only got a bluecream female.
So it was pretty easy to predict colors from a calico knowing what the male was - and easier to sex too as 99% of calicos would be female and the reds would be male - compared them to my black/blues to make sure which was male/female

Let us know how it goes...also, if you post about it in the Caring for Ferals and Strays section...some of the trappers can help you with other ideas. Thank you for helping these cats.Originally Posted by RedHead
