December Cats Picture Calendar Gallery

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," marmelade," yellow, orange, red, or "flame."

We celebrate red cats in our December Picture Calendar, but we love them year-round. December is a great month for snuggling with your cat in front of a crackling fire, particularly if your cat mirrors the colors of the flames. And of course we can't forget that December cats are red for the color of Christmas stockings and Santa's suit, as well as the color of the flames on Chanukkah candles.
