Testing the theory - red cat gender

[momofmany]

I have read that of all the red/orange/ginger cats in the world, about 10% are female and the rest are males. Who has what kind and if you have more than one, please post the count.

Please do not count tri color calico's and torties/torbies - they are nearly almost always female!

I have 6 males and 1 female.

Are you counting calicos and torties?

Daisy says she is definitely a girl

I would say no since tri colors are nearly all female and it would skew the results. I will count red/white combos.

Sleeves used to be a 'man' but since being neutered he's like a female in a males body

But he counts towards the male count

We just had a litter of kittens brought in the other day.. there were 5, 3 calicos, and 2 orange and white.. so i figured they were both boys. But one is definately a girl.

But I got two orange males here in my house

I have one orange boy, Garfield. His brother Odie looked just like him. Their Mom Tigger was orange and white. I had Jill, a female orange girl. And nasty Natalie was an orange girl, with one orange daughter. Twinkie aka Rusty, orange male. And Gold Rush was an orange and white boy.

Out of eight orange cats, four were male and four were female!

I read that 70% of orange cats are male.

I believe that I am skewed towards females, since I am in rescue. We mainly rescue preggers girls, so probably have more females over all than males. For the poll, I only listed Garfield, since he is the only one I still have!

I currently have 3 orange males who were formal ferals. I have had a total of 15 orange cats in my feral colony and only one of them was a female. I love my orange boys

Peanut Butterum is a red and white girl, and Blondie Rumpleteaser is a totally red girl, but she is soft red, actually leaning towards "buff".

Hobo Skimbleshanks is a red and white, 100% curtain climbing, refrigerator darting, cabinet diving boy!

I have a ginger and white tabby male, and I fostered a white and ginger female last year. And like Becki, I mainly have females due to fostering, we rarely get males (other than kittens) in our rescue.

I have me a little red tabby Buddha boy

 

[fwan]

All ginger cats ive had were male

 

[minxie]

Out of a litter of 4....1 choc tortie girl and 3 orange boys! So that backs up the thought that orange cats are mainly boys
