Only about 1 in 5 orange tabby cats is female.
Scientists and researchers are fairly certain that orange tabbies’ color transpires from a sex-linked gene, with the X chromosome responsible for the orange coloring.

Although the research is far from definitive, male cats have been said to be slightly friendlier than female cats, which could explain the loving nature of orange cats.

American Bobtail
The American Bobtail looks almost wild in appearance, but they can be ginger cats too! With their bobbed tails, fluffy cheeks and intelligent personalities, they make perfect companions.
The ‘ginger gene’ which produces the orange colour is on the X chromosome. Females have two X chromosomes and so need two copies of this gene to become ginger, whereas males need only one.
