I am tediously trying to revise for a post graduate exam today and it's been great being at home as my lovely old orange Maine **** cat has been keeping me company very faithfully. I've had him nearly 9 years now (rescue cat) and its been nice looking back at some of my old photos of him and all his quirky little habits...

Orange cats are ace - except when they are leaving a myriad of cat hairs underneath and around the keys on the keyboard

You might not have known he was orange a while ago

Both of yours are lovely and fluffy, mine is more a shorthair (when he isn't covered in mud - no idea how he got like that) and actually, more peach than orange :)

Oh he's gorgeous orange AND floofy! I also have a rescued orange boy we have had him 7 years and I miss him whilst I am at uni :( Although he would be terrified of going near horses he runs away from mice and kittens.

Wonderful orange cats!!! I only have a Siamese and a boss eyed blue cat (both also wonderful lol) - I do think orange cats are beautiful.

I love orange cats! I'd always wanted one and finally got the chance when my friends cat had kittens.

He is a big soppy idiot and love him to bits! I would love a super fluffy orange one day, but not sure I could cope with the hair! Short is bad enough!

This is my ginger moggy!

I have an orange cat. She is officially called Sandy, but at home we call her the Ninja. She's 17, now. I took her on from CPL last year, as a stone death, arthritic, yowly thing. She's a typical cantankerous old lady, but very affectionate.

I just love ginger cats, my Jaffa is such a little character and I am so glad I opted to have his leg amputated when he was diagnosed with a bone cancer, as he is doing really well and has all his old naughtiness back and is happy!

Our last orange cat was called Dandelion. He disappeared at 6 years of age never to been seen again. Still look for him when out and about, it is the not knowing that is so awful.
