Orange Kitteh is best kitteh.
IIRC, Martin did a meme on this theme.
In my case, I married a man who claimed that he hated cats and thought they were worthless creatures. I was about 8 years into a catless marriage, with 4 little kids, and an orange and white stray tom cat wandered onto our deck while my husband was working on something and curled up in his tool box. I had put the kids to bed and had collapsed on my own bed and had fallen asleep our of sheer exhaustion. My husband was working all alone — SOP around our household in those years.
My husband gave that cat a can of tuna and the cat never left. The kids named him Tigger, but he became my husband’s cat. My husband defended him for many years, and that cat ruled the roost around our house wherever we moved.
Orange cats are special.
