Why are ginger cats so popular?
Which cats are primarily depicted on calendars, tabloids, and greeting cards? Redhead. It is the cute faces of red kittens that are most popular. Solar animals leave no one indifferent.
Saffron milk caps become heroes of popular films and cartoons. Suffice it to recall the red cat from the cartoon about Shrek or the funny cat Gottfried, at whose antics more than one generation laughs.
It is enough to look at a red cat and your heart is filled with joy, because it seems that the sun has entered the house and brought warmth to it. Owners of saffron milk caps claim that when cats are nearby, sadness and bad mood disappear somewhere. The house becomes more comfortable and warmer.
It has been noticed that solar animals are good healers. If the “red doctor” goes to a person’s sore spots, then most likely he will get better.
They also say that ginger cats bring prosperity to the house. Why? Yes, because a person who receives positive emotions from his red pet copes with stress faster and makes his career easier. Cats are generally considered magical animals, and red cats, when they rub against their owners’ legs, leave them with a piece of magical power and give them good luck.
Cute mischievous sunny cats have different characters, tastes and preferences, but it is impossible not to love them, just as it is impossible not to love the sun itself.

Breeds of red cats
Even coloring is not typical for red cats, as, for example, for white or black cats. A red fur coat will definitely have spots or stripes. It’s interesting that there are very few red cats at all. Mostly cats are born red. Therefore, many women believe that a cat in a red fur coat will bring them a happy marriage if they take him into their home.
Breeds such as Bengal cats, Savannah cats and other representatives of wild cats are very brightly painted. These are features of genetics that cannot be fought. The color indicates the character of the cat.
A large number of stripes or spots indicates the pet’s uncooperative nature. Such cats are vindictive and vindictive. It is very difficult to come to an agreement with them.
If the golden color is combined with emerald eyes, it means that a very cheerful and mischievous feline lives next to you. He has more than enough positive energy, and he gladly passes it on to his owner.
The sunny color is mainly the privilege of outbred cats. But if you want to have a purebred redhead, then this is also possible. Which breeds are born red?
- Persian cats.
Red Persians are amazing animals. It seems that they have truly absorbed the energy of the sun. These are such good-natured and positive pets! They are very trusting and devoted to their owner. But they don’t bother him, but are ready to lie on the sofa for hours and wait for him to deign to turn his attention to them. You can’t look at their golden face without feeling moved. And children will happily play with the red fluffies and cuddle them.
- Exotics,
which are related to the Persian but have shorter fur, are also born with a golden color. They are similar to Persians in character. They are just as good-natured and affectionate.

- Siberian cats of red color are very rare, but they do exist. If you are lucky enough to have a red-colored Siberian pet, most likely happiness or changes for the better await you.
Their fur coat, like the Persian fur coat, requires constant and careful care. Otherwise, tangles will appear on it, which are difficult to deal with. Red Siberians are very friendly and kind, but at the same time they love freedom and walks in the fresh air.
- Britons are almost the exact opposite of Persian cats. They are aristocrats and individualists, so they behave like real English lords. They will even allow themselves to be stroked on their red fur coat only when they want to. The British are most suitable for interior decoration. But, if they are in a good mood, they will be happy to play with the children.
- Abyssinians can also be red, but their color is closer to fiery. Such a cute light in your home will not only bring joy, but will be very devoted to its owner. Abyssinians are curious, sociable and have good learning abilities.
Their fiery fur gives them a special charm, and the cats themselves are very peaceful. They get along well with other pets and love to play with children.
- Thais and Siamese are generally a miracle of nature, and they can be found extremely rarely. If you manage to find such a cat and bring it into your home, consider yourself lucky. Red Siamese are noble, but less aggressive than classic representatives of the breed. They are extremely intelligent, but not too gullible. To win the love of such a pet, you need to give him your love and warmth. Then he will respond in kind and become the most loyal animal.

Are there red cats?
When talking about ordinary and purebred ginger cats, we mainly talked about males. What about cats with golden fur? They are very rare.
Cats have two X chromosomes, which are responsible for the red color (contain the orange gene), while cats have only one. But nature sometimes gives us surprises. It is quite rare that both chromosomes contain the orange gene. Usually one has it, while the other has predominant genes for brown or black color. Therefore, cats are often born tri-colored, which cannot be said about cats.
But cats have the only chromosome that can give a red color. As a rule, she becomes dominant.
But the genetic code of an individual can be formed in different ways. And sunny beauties are still born, although much less frequently than males. There is one cat for every four cats.
Wild representatives of the sunny color, as a rule, have white boots and a white frill. Purebred cats can be completely red or fiery. Among purebred cats, representatives of tortoiseshell color, with black spots on their coats, are valued. Among the British and Persians, peach-colored cats with a muted red color are considered beautiful.
Red kittens in your home
They say that it is not the owners who choose ginger cats, but the ginger cats of the owners. Indeed, ginger cats are very independent. They prefer to do what they want, and not what the owner demands of them. This is true not only for adult cats, but also for kittens.
If the kitten likes you, he will come to you. If he does not want to make contact, most likely this is not your pet. But if you have a little red lump, then it will bring happiness and joy to all family members.
Even adult saffron milk caps require extra attention, let alone kittens! Not only are they in a good mood and therefore very playful and mischievous. Kids can be real mischief-makers, and the owner should keep an eye out for this. Otherwise, knocked over flower pots and torn curtains can turn into a daily nightmare.
It is very important to pay more attention to the kitten, even to accommodate the whims. If you care for your pet as it requires, then it will respond with love and devotion.
Optimistic and curious ginger kittens will happily play with toys purchased for them and entertain children. They will bring warmth and comfort, and with it a good mood.
In Russia, ginger kittens are especially in demand, as ginger cats are considered symbols of the sun and good luck. And little red pets can melt any heart. Kids are very positive and friendly and love human interaction. They make their owners very bright people by giving them their fire. And, of course, such a pet cannot get bored!
To make sure your signs are faithful, get yourself a red pet. He will warm you with his warmth if you are alone. Will give a lot of joy and positivity to family people. The little red-haired miracle can transform and put any person in a positive mood.
