On this July 29th, we celebrate National Lasagna Day. For us cat lovers, that means celebrating all the Garfields, or orange cats, of the world! To recognize them, we’ve compiled a list of some fun facts about orange kitties that you may not have known.
Did you know that 80% of orange cats are male? That means, if you have a female orange cat, you own a rare, beautiful kitty!
Did you also know that every orange cat has a “M” pattern on their forehead above their eyes? This is because every orange cat carries the tabby gene.
It is also impossible for an orange cat to be a completely solid orange color. This is due to the fact that they have a pheomelanin pigment, which causes them to have stripes, swirls, or spots.
It is very common for an orange cat to develop small black freckles on their lips, noses, or gums by the time they reach two years old. This is a harmless condition, meaning it is not a disease and will not affect your cat’s health whatsoever.
These orange beauties are widely known to be very chatty. From chirps to meows, they are one of the most talkative types of cats. They also have a positive reputation of being silly, affectionate, and outgoing furry companions.
If you’re an orange cat pawrent and feel like celebrating your furry friend this National Lasagna Day, we recommend shopping some of our Metro Paws Cat Products. From organic Silvervine Nip, to organic Silvervine Sticks, and even Mini Tennis Balls, we have something for everyone.
We hope all orange kitties out there have a fun National Lasagna Day! And remember, while Garfield might be known for loving lasagna, it is extremely dangerous for real-life cats to eat.
