Not uncommon...

Answer 2

l used to work at a shelter for homeless cats. l took care of over 200 cats many of the orange cats were male but l can remember at least 4 orange cat were female l never thought of it as rare for a female orange cat. Alot of the females had orange and black or brown but at least 4 that l can think of were female and all orange with a little white.

Answer 3

I have an orange female. One in 10 I think is the average. I adopted this cat after her owner had died. I assumed I was getting a male until we got her home. They are rare but not unheard of.

Answer 4

I work at a cat shelter, and trust me, it is not real common but it is not rare. We see a ton of cats and kittens each year and we see a fair amount of ginger females. I have two myself. Not rare at all.

Answer 5

i have worked in a pet store and am a qualif vet nurse.....ginger kittens are nearly always males, however there are occasionally ginger females around but only a very small percentage. They are quite hard to find if looking for one.

Answer 6

It is rare, but I had an orange female stray once. She was a sweet cat.

Answer 7

I have two ginger female cats. I've never heard of it being uncommon.

Actually, only 1 in 10,000 Calico (three-colored) cats are male.

Answer 8

I would imagine it depends on if there is orange cats in the mother or fathers lineage.

Answer 9

We had one for a while :)

Its just more common in males, like being colourblind is more common in human males, it only occurs in women when you get the right genetic combinations :)

Answer 10

just be greatful they are all healthy, but so that you know in animals the mother decides what sexes she will have and the markings, and because it isn't a common colour for females you should be able to sell her to a good home for more than the males.

Answer 11

yes, it is really rare but nothing to worry.

happens wid mother's or father's gene transfer to da baby.
