Ginger Cats Display Everything We Love About Ginger Cats
There are many different kinds of cats, but among the best of all are truly ginger cats. Other names for the gorgeous coat that so many purr-fect cats possess, and that we can't get enough of, include red, marmalade, and simply orange.
Did you know that the deciding factor in a cat being ginger comes down to genetics? According to Dr. Gary Chapman, marriage counselor and author, "the ginger gene 'O' is responsible for producing phaeomelanin (the red pigment), and this pigment is so dominant that it will mask all other colors. In order to produce your ginger cat, the gene needs to be carried to the 'X' chromosome - a male cat has one 'X' chromosome, whereas females have two."
