Orange cats are known for being the himbos of the cat breeds, but they're also known as being some of the most loving. 'Mr. Man', our step-dad-who-stepped-up, proved this by raising two orphaned kittens his owners found.

Before you adopt an orange cat, you should know two things: they have one collective brain cell that they share with every other orange cat on the planet, and they are very loving. They may not be the brightest crayon in the box, but what they lack in intelligence, they make up for in love. They will incessantly head-bonk you. They will sleep on your chest, in between your legs, on your head while you sleep, and anywhere else that is close to you.

Our orange of the day let his love pour out by wholesomely adopting two teeny-weeny kittens his pawrents found outside. They had an adult female cat as well, but it was the orange boy (or, should we say, man) who stepped up and took them under his figurative wing. He instantly made them feel like part of the family. He took care of grooming them, cuddling with them, and even disciplining them when they did something wrong (see picture #23 below).

Cats don't need to be related to consider each other family, and that just makes it all the more heartwarming. If they can find purrpose in helping others in need, we think that we, as hoomans, should be able to as well. We never thought the day would come when we would say this, but we could all learn a thing or two from orange cats!

What did we tell you above? Orange cats can be very cuddly. He's literally putting his little paw around the even littler kitten to bring them closer to him. We're not crying, we swear (okay, maybe a little). There are a couple more pictures below of him quite literally kissing one of the kittens, and it warms our hearts like a ray of sunshine on a cloudy winter day. It's so purrfectly adorable.

Some cats are just meant to be pawrents. One of our cats really needed her space when she was an only child. Then, we got a kitten, and she took so quickly to mothering the kitten that it completely changed her purrsonality. She needed to be next to the kitten at all times, and when the kitten wanted to be with us, she would come and start accepting snuggles that she wouldn't want before.
