Orange cats are the best cats.

We think so too.

Yes. I’ve had all colors of cats, including several decades of Siamese. But my favorite cat of all time was an orange and white stray Tom who moved in with us in 1965. (A can of tuna helped). Loved that cat! We lived next door to an all-orange Tom, and those 2 cats ruled the street. They got along with each other, but they kept the street clear of all intruders.

One time, mine tangled with a racoon and fell into the creek behind the house. He came home all slimy and muddy, and my husband had to give him a bath in the shower. He REALLY didn’t like it and yowled piteously while I sat on the floor outside the bathroom and cried in sympathy. When he came out, I was suprised at how small he looked with his fur all matted down with water. His tail looked like a rat’s. He hid behind the couch until his fur dried and then he came out and strutted around the room looking beautiful and purring with his sparkling white chest and orange back. He never needed another bath as long as he lived, thank goodness.
