Let us preface this by saying: we love orange cats. So much. Endlessly. They are everything to us. We love and spoil and deal with all of the madness that orange cats bring that sometimes… we allow ourselves to make a little fun of them. Because orange cats are hissterical. They are different. They are special. We don't know what it was that the universe was thinking when it created them, but whatever it was, we are thankful for it. Life would be so boring without their shenanigans, and that is exactly what we are here to celebrate.

We don't know if you knew this, but ginger cats have 1 braincell. Only one collectively. For them all. Every once in a while, your ginger cat will have a moment of brilliance, of genius, and you will know… that is had the braincell that day. But during all of the other days, your orange will have to share said braincell with all of the other equally-clueless and adorable ginger cats. Now, the cats here, in this collection… were as far from the braincell as they could be.

And that is all that really matters - that he is content. Hey, it may be funny to us to see all of these ginger cats doing their ginger cat things, but as long as they are happy, we are happy, and this guy… is clearly very, very happy in his little box.

There is no point in questioning their behavior - that is what we have learned over our time obsessing over orange cats. They will do whatever they want to do without giving you any explanation, and you… all that you need to do is enjoy is. Because it is amazing.
