People who talk about how aloof cats are have clearly never met a ginger cat before. Of course, all cats have their fun moments, but with most cats, you have to wait, you have to be patient, to see their true chaotic potential. Ginger cats though, they show you their true colors right away. They will surprise you by how fast they can make you laugh. Orange cats are kind of like… the golden retrievers of the whiskered world.

We don't know quite what it is that makes them so different than other cats, but the internet's theory is very simple. Orange cats have one braincell only - to share between all of them. Every once in a while, your orange might be blessed with receiving the braincell, and you will be amazed by their intelligence. But for the most part, orange cats will be their silly selves, and we will be right here, enjoying every second of it.

No matter how hard we think about it, we can't quite pinpoint what it is that makes orange cats so different. Of course, all cats have their silly meowments, but we think that we can all agree that orange ones have a slightly disproportionate amount of them. And you know what? At the end of the day, the why doesn't matter. We're just going to sit back and enjoy it.

Every day is a brand new day filled with potential shenanigans. Our phones have so many pictures of our orange fluffball on them that we don't have space for anything else. And we are not even mad about it. We're really not.
