Reader Stories: Life with a Red Cat

Red cats are almost always tabbies, and are often described as orange or ginger. They range in shades from the palest beige to the most vibrant dark orange, and can be either shorthair or longhair. Red cats are most often male, but many red female cats can be found. They have warm, loving personalities, but also can be very strong-willed, and are often the alpha cat in a household.
