The red cat is a common type that is always tabby in pattern, and males far outnumber females. They are more commonly called orange, ginger, marmalade, yellow, butter, caramel, or butterscotch.
Red cats are not their own breed and you can find them in many cat
breeds as well as moggies (cats with no
pedigree). They may be shorthair or longhair cats.
If you are looking for a lovely ginger cat, you will have a wide variety
of breeds and coats to choose from. You may want a red cat that has
tiger stripes or one with spots or patches.
