Red Cats Picture Calendar Gallery

Okay, so our red cats are celebrated in December, but we love them year-round. This is the latest round of red cat photos submitted by my readers.

Join us in extolling the virtues of Red Cats, but don't be surprised if some of them appear to be yellow or orange. Why are yellow cats called "red?" Beats me, but maybe a geneticist can explain it. In the meantime, cozy up with your cat by the fireside. They're all beautiful, no matter whether you call them "Ginger," Marmalade," yellow, orange, red, or "flame."
