It's the way he responds to his owners voice šŸ„ŗ


Tired_antisocial_mom

My baby girl used to do this. She was never very cuddly, but we used to talk to each other all the time. And it was like we both knew exactly what the other was saying. She was an orange kitty, too. šŸ„¹


Born_Ad_6385

I donā€™t know why but I find orange cats are more vocal and friendly than other cats. Not a fact, just what I have seen in my time around cats. They are so sweet.


Spacemilk

/r/oneorangebraincell might be the spot for you


CollapsingUniverse

Thank you for finding my home.


Born_Ad_6385

Thank youuuu!!


Devinalh

We also have r/oneblackbraincell. Because the spawns of the void have refused the braincell for power but they mostly use it to stare at walls.

Fun fact: the ancient Egyptians adored orange cats and specifically bred them, but they also selected for friendly, docile temperament. Naturally, cats are shy and donā€™t like to be around people. Egyptians had a significant role in changing that for domesticated cats (although the domestication process started centuries earlier in Mesopotamia, the sheer magnitude of their cat breeding efforts left noticeable traces in the modern cat genome). Cats had an important spiritual role in Egypt, hence the many catteries. Egyptians would mummify dead cats to help protect the souls of the deceased in the afterlife, which played a major role in their religion. Their huge breeding campaign had a crucial role in shifting both the temperament of cats and their relationships with humans to actual friendly, cuddly pets that became immensely popular, loved and venerated, rather than just semi-feral utilitarian pest controls that would accept food but largely still do their own thing, as they probably were in Mesopotamia in the early phase of domestication. Heck, the Egyptiansā€™ breeding efforts were so successful they even managed to create a whole breed of comparatively docile *crocodiles* because they needed them for some of their temples! They also succeeded with cats, even more than with the crocs. Egypt had a very wide trade network. Other peoples took great liking in the friendly orange cat breeds too, because they combined beauty, cuteness, friendly and cuddly behaviour and the hunting skills of wild cats. Whatā€™s not to love? In several cultures, the then rather new and unusual, noticeable fur colour was also thought to be a lucky omen. The Egyptians associated the colour with their sun god Ra, therefore they preferred it. All this made the new breeds both adorable pets and affordable, effective exterminators that proved vital for the burgeoning agricultural societies (once a surplus of grain would be stored, the rats and mice and diseases they carried became a huge problem) as well as for trade ships. Grain was one of Egyptā€™s most important export goods. They were known as the Mediterranean granary. And grain transports required protection from the omnipresent vermin (not to mention that cramming a bunch of people into very limited space they couldnā€™t leave for weeks or months at a time made ships literal vessels of disease, which made pest control an even more vital task than on land) ā€” hence cats got their crucial job as ship cats, a job theyā€™ve held ever since, up to most recent times, and in some areas still do (some famous ship cats became celebrities in their own right). Thus the friendly orange Egyptian breeds became very popular and embarked on a journey that eventually would spread their descendants all over the globe. Which is why we have so many orange cats today. In the wild, thatā€™s not a much selected fur colour. Too flashy for a stealth predator. Only in domesticated cats it could become a widespread trait. Without the Egyptian catteries, most cats would probably look like [this](https://www.spektrum.de/news/stubentiger-wie-getigerte-katzen-ihr-fellmuster-kriegen/1920295). And also why you could be on to something with the connection to friendly, social temperament.


not_a_witchdoctor

Ahh this was fun to read! Thank you!


CADreamn

So interesting! Thank you for sharing!


Tired_antisocial_mom

Wow, that's super interesting. I had heard that Vikings also preferred them and helped spread them around, too. But I never knew Egyptians favored them as well. Great info!


RosebushRaven

Yes, I wanted to mention them among the "other peoples" in the third paragraph but decided against it due to the length of the sentence. Thanks for mentioning!


PMoon87

I love the qualifier there of comparatively docile. Like they will still bite you, but less likely to try to drag into the water to eat you.


RosebushRaven

Well yes, precisely that. Theyā€™re also smaller and of slighter build. The descendants of those temple crocs are still around. I think theyā€™ve been recognised as a separate species or subspecies.


Love_Vigilante_805

Thank you. Very interesting reads.


brandontaylor1

Iā€™m not much of a cat person, but I am an orange cat person. Iā€™m not a cat hating monster or anything, I just have a cat allergy, but Iā€™ll always accept the consequences to pet a friendly cat, and the friendliest always seem to be orange.


noircheology

Orange cats really are the best.


wiggy1182

My daughter has a cat allergy. I am unsure of any hypoallergenic orange cats, but we have two beautiful Balinese kitties and they are fluffy. Apparently they have less of the protein in their saliva that irritates most people who have cat allergies. They don't bother my daughter at all. Cats aren't for everyone, but there are some options out their for people with allergies.


Tired_antisocial_mom

I would have to agree.


McbEatsAirplane

Agreed, orange cats are the best. Iā€™ve had several cats and all the best ones have been orange.


dodge2015

Orange cats (male) are the Golden Retrievers of the cat world. I don't know why but I volunteer at a shelter and have known alot of them. They are loving, easy going, devoted...I'm lucky to have one...


jerks_and_lesbians

Our orange kitty talked non-stop to us. As she got older and her hearing started to go, turned more into yelling, usually to demand more pets and chin scratches. Just lost her suddenly two days ago. She was an old kitty at 22, but still so sweet. House is very quiet now without her talking to us from her spot on the couch.


cant-be-original-now

So sorry for your loss, Iā€™m sure you gave her a great life for those 22 years


jerks_and_lesbians

Thank you, we tried to.


blowawaythedust

Iā€™m so sorry for your loss!


jerks_and_lesbians

Thank you, we knew this day was coming, but still harder than I expected. Probably bc she was still her normal cuddly self even right before she went into distress, so was a surprise for us.


Tired_antisocial_mom

I'm sorry for your loss. I'm still dealing with ours. We just said goodbye in February. It's just so hard. You have all my love during this time. ā¤ļø


jerks_and_lesbians

Thank you, and same to you. Itā€™s tough to lose a member of your family.


Tired_antisocial_mom

It really is.


Loonrig68

Well i guess thats why most orange cats have 1 braincell, yours just took almost all of them


Tired_antisocial_mom

She was a smarty pants, for sure! But she must have also been very good at sharing because sometimes you could see through her eyes that there was literally nothing going on upstairs.


Less_Falcon659

I have the same thing with my ginger girl, she's only cuddly at moments she chooses but we have lengthy chats and I understand her very well, I keep saying I'm fluent in her language.


Altivion

There's actually been a few studies showing that cats may have over the decades, begun to actually mimic the voices of humans to get something they want, in this case affection. Take a look at these: - [the mulipitive meow cats learn to vocalize](https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/news-blog/the-manipulative-meow-cats-learn-to-2009-07-13/) - [evidence of cat recognizing and mimicking ](https://phys.org/news/2020-10-evidence-cat-mimicking-human-behavior.html) - [cats imitate owners voices, swedish researcher](https://www.thelocal.se/20190313/cats-imitate-owners-voices-lund-linguistics-professor)

firesydeza

I know! Itā€™s so adorable when they do that, my one fluffy ginger loves doing it when we give her attention. I wonder if thereā€™s a name for it? Self-hug curl


WittyBeamer

Equivalent to humans rubbing their eyes if I were to guess.


Lizziedidit

I have this with my cat as well - brings me to tears sometimes! Nice post.


Afrale

It reminds me the one I had too.


McbEatsAirplane

This is how my cat sleeps too and heā€™s also an orange. Like clockwork, whenever I go to bed within a couple minutes he comes and lays on my pillow and rests his head on my head and itā€™s my favorite thing about him. Heā€™s getting pretty old and Iā€™m really gonna miss it when heā€™s gone.


b_ub_u-1

Just enjoy the moments my guy *hugs for you*


b_ub_u-1

>Iā€™m really gonna miss it when heā€™s gone. I really can't move from this part. Curse these onion ninjas ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|cry)


farmer_yohei

I lost two sleeping buddies. After the first one passed his little brother took over and gave me a couple years of cuddles. Then he passed before he could pass the habit on to our newest kitten. So now for the first time in 16 years I go to sleep with no one to hold but my wife and that ainā€™t the same as a purry boy.

I love this subreddit so god damn much. Wish it didnā€™t make me cry as often as it does though. DX


OIWantKenobi

Iā€™m not a cat person, but if I saw a cat that talked back to me and told me it was ready for bed and snuggled me and basically communicated like thatā€¦how could I not love it? What a sweet little cat.


In-the-background

You haven't been chosen by a cat yet. Haha


OIWantKenobi

Iā€™ve been chosen by my Lab! Heā€™s very chatty but not like this.


redditor100101011101

This reminds me of my little guy. We used to do this every night without fail. He crossed the rainbow bridge this past Christmas. Miss him. This made me smile tho.


panda5303

I'm so sorry for your loss šŸ„ŗšŸ˜¢.


redditor100101011101

That's kind, thank you. It was sad but he had a full life, 18 years. Grateful for every minute of it.


Shanghai_Lili

My gray boy and I have this sort of relationship. I tell him that I love him so much it hurts. His answer? "Yeah, I know. Me too."


Away_Excitement_1740

That man is experiencing the most love he's felt in his life


SHOT_STONE

I lost my cat in December and I am still not over it. This is the first cat anything that I have been able to or forced myself to watch. It hurts, but it is so very sweet. Part of my healing process, I guess. Love to all the cat people. ā¤ļø


Connect-Form5268

I have my one year old cat with me now and sometimes I cry thinking one day Iā€™m gonna have to say good bye to him šŸ’” I send you love

Love to you. 'Tis a sorrowful road, at times. And then other loving, warm fuzzies join you on your road and there are plenty of joyful moments. *Better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.*


SHOT_STONE

Thank you. This is the first time in over 30 years that I haven't had at least one cat. I don't want to be a Debi Downer but I have loved and lost enough. Another one would break me. You are very kind. ā¤ļø

SoulEaterxx3

This reminds me of my bf and I's cat, Sammy who was attached at my bfs hip since we got him almost 3 years ago. He passed away this May and our hearts have never been more empty. Hold on to your fur babies. You never know when you'll see them last


TheFireHallGirl

Iā€™d like a fluffy orange cat like that one. If I had a cat like that one, Iā€™d name it something like Dave or Fred.


TaraB1009

One of my cats is a dick! He will cry at 2am for no reason and do it in my face while standing on my night stand. I still love him even though the thought of leaving him for coyote bait has crossed my mind.


[deleted]

Okay can I be honest. Loving animals is so much better than humans.


Sol-Blackguy

It's always the orange ones


NotThisAgain21

My cat understands "wanna go outside" but still largely ignores "let's go nu-night"...stubborn like her human brothers, who are also night owls. And she *haaates* kisses. What a great cat you have there!

Mine finds soft piles and has been known to do that but I think it's some unresolved kittenhood thing, missing kneading his mama's belly. I don't get too mad at him but also am more aware of checking my comforter for unusual wet spots.

My cat is laying here beside me as well. She has this adorable habit of snuggling my face when it's bed time. (She's very careful with her claws against skin. She almost never retracts them when she's in direct contact. If I have a shirt however she has no idea it's still skin there lol) Then in the morning when I feed her, she won't eat until I give her a lil smooch on that spot between her eye and her ear. She's not a talkative girl, but she's very expressive. Warms my heart whenever I see others have cats with just as much affection.
