I wanted to show off these two shy little rascals. This is Flash & Quincy.
These two gingers were so afraid of people when they first arrived at their new home that it was touch and go for awhile whether they were at all adoptable. But, they have come around nicely and become quite the pair. They are now two adored family members. Oh yes.....and they love their cat-sitter. :-)
But my day wasn't finished with being entertained by the ever-so-adorable ginger cat. A walk about town gave me the pleasure of meeting these two beauties.
If any of my followers have gingers you know how special they are.
A bit of trivia..
Male Dominance
An interesting fact about ginger or orange cats is that, in most cases, they are males. As a result of genetics, according to Dr. Arnold Plotnick of catchannel.com, the ratio of male to female gingers is 80-20. Morris, the famous Nine Lives cat food mascot, was a typical male ginger cat and most, though not all, gingers encountered in homes, on the street, in shops and in pet shelters will turn out to be male.
When I returned home I mentioned to Audrey that I had seen so many lovely gingers today. She gave me the tail-raise and stomped off.hugs, Deb
