Orange cats are a special kind of crazy. But we love them.

Every fluffy feline has their own unique purrsonality, every cat owner can tell you that. But orange cats… well, orange cats are a unique breed. They come with a hunger for both food and chaos. They are some of the most loving, snuggly cats we've ever had the pleasure of meeting, and they are also the craziest. One minute, they'll be purring like a race car on your chest, and the next, they'll be bouncing off the walls and trying to eat their food bowl. Not the food inside the food bowl, but the food bowl itself. It's a wonder how these blissfully brain-cell-less babies ever survived in the wild.

And where there is one orange, there are usually more. One rescuer and their friend found a mama cat and her four kittens outside, and immediately brought them to safety indoors. Like most feline fans, they fell head over heels for the cute kitties, with a special connection to the purely orange one. His adorably silly shenanigans made the rescuer fall deeper and deeper in love, until they decided that they were going to keep him, and name him 'Dibbles'. A purrfectly derpy name for a purrfectly derpy cat.

These kittens are still very young, so we're not sure this rescuer knows exactly what he's getting into, but who are we to stand in the way of true love? Don't tell him that it's going to get worse before it gets better… it's all part of the fun of being owned by a clementine-colored cat.

Oh, Dibbles. Buddy, you're doing great. Just keep on trying, and you'll get there eventually. Nothing can come between an orange cat and their food, not even themselves. This is only the first of many derpy cat pictures to come. Our rescuer should prepurr themselves for lots of brainless stares at nothing, bleps aplenty, and lots of zoomies. Dibbles will probably be the most entertaining cat they will ever own, but they should also set aside some money for all the things he will eventually break. Orange cats are not known for being the most coordinated.

The good thing about finding stray kittens is that they usually have very few problems getting adopted quickly. Older cats, on the other hand, are hit or miss. You have to find someone who really loves cats to adopt a stray that's not from a shelter or a breeder. Luckily, there are lots of people who really love cats out there, so if you're looking for a female orange cat (which happen to be quite rare!), you know where to find one.
