When firefighters have to get involved, you know something's up.

Orange cats are known for their mischievous behavior. Sometimes they knock things off tables more than other cats, or they might have midnight zoomies a little more than you're used to dealing with. Regardless of their knack for danger, it's important to remember that at the end of the day they're just like other cats. They enjoy the snuggles, a warm home, and feeling loved just the same. Take it from Reddit's r/CatDistributionSystem, where this little orange kitty was found stuck inside a car one day just trying to get warm. A woman brought him home from work one day because firefighters had to pull him out of a car repeatedly. He was cold and alone all night and wanted somewhere warm. She brought him home to her son, who posted that the cat is now healthy and happy. They named him Findus, and you can find him below by reading the full story.

This little guy looks like quite the scoundrel, in a good way! I always wanted an orange cat, and knowing that they're mischievous and naughty actually makes me want one more. It's not deterring that they're like that, in fact I think it will be compatible with me. We'll be like two peas in a pod. Orange cats have earned an indelible legacy and reputation online, and it's really based in reality. They haven't even tried to defend themselves from the stereotypes, which means that it must be true. They're fiery, silly, destructive, and have a single brain cell.

Orange cats can create mayhem, but underneath all the chaos there's still a cat who deserves love just as much as any other cat. In fact, part of what makes orange cats so lovable is their willingness to embrace chaos with complete sincerity. That's kind of how I am, which makes me feel like an orange cat would be purrfect for someone like me. They're not trying to be troublesome, and a lot of the time neither am I. Little crimes are committed without effort, and orange cats just sit back, relax, and watch everything unfold. f
