Orange cats have a genetic story that explains why most of them are male. The gene for orange fur sits on the X chromosome. Females carry two X chromosomes and males carry one X and one Y.

This chart shows two simple examples.

1. A black mother and an orange father: the sons receive the mother's X and are usually black, while the daughters receive one orange X and one black X, which creates a tortoiseshell coat.
2. An orange mother and a black father: the sons are usually orange, and the daughters are tortoiseshell or calico.

Calico is a tortoiseshell coat with added white spotting. Because a female needs two copies of the orange gene to be fully orange, orange females are less common. Estimates often say around three out of four orange cats are male.

This is a simplified overview. Real litters vary, and coat patterns depend on several genes.

Brown back. Pale eyes. A striped tail with no red in it at all. It looks like it can't make up its mind, and that's about right. It's figuring things out.

This is most likely a young red-tailed hawk on its own for the first time. After it left the nest, both parents kept bringing food while it learned to fly. Now the hunting is up to it.

Watched long enough, it may pounce on a fallen leaf or a twig as if it caught a mouse. Young red-tails really do that. It's practice.

The rusty red tail that gives the species its name doesn't come in right away. Young birds wear brown-and-white bands first, and the red arrives as they mature.

🍂 How to help:

- Give it room and watch from a window or the far side of the yard
- Keep small pets and backyard chickens close while it's perched nearby
- Hawks are protected by federal law, so catching or keeping one is off the table
- One that can't fly or looks hurt gets a call to the state wildlife agency or a licensed rehabilitator

Not every tabby looks the same. The word describes a coat pattern, not a breed, and it appears in many breeds and in mixed-breed cats alike.

All tabbies share one trait, a faint M marking on the forehead. From there, five main patterns stand out:

1. Mackerel: thin vertical stripes, like fish bones. It is the most common pattern.
2. Classic: bold swirls that form a bullseye on the sides.
3. Spotted: round or oval spots along the body.
4. Ticked: each hair has bands of colour, giving a soft salt-and-pepper look with few or no stripes.
5. Torbie: tabby markings mixed with orange or cream patches, seen mostly in females.

Pattern names can differ slightly between breed registries, and some cats blend two patterns. Coat colour says nothing certain about temperament, so judge each cat by personality.
