How common are orange tabby female cats?
Don’t feel bad about the gender issue. Sometimes it’s very hard to tell. Even cat breeders have problems like that. I don’t know how “rare” a female orange tabby is, but I had a “red” tabby female (in the world of cat breeders, orange is called red) Scottish Fold we called Ramona. Your kitty looks so cute. Out of 5 orange kittens we’ve had, only one was female, which would be 20%. However, we have had a lot of cream colored females, I think closer to 60% of them were female. The cream colored ones are considered “dilute” form of the red. This is over about 10 years. We don’t breed a lot of cats so this probably isn’t a big enough number to start with. By the way, the stripes around her neck are called “necklaces” and around her legs are called “bracelets”. The spots on her tummy are called “buttons”. Not really important, just fun.
