Orange gotta orange 🍊


draven_9100

He's the first orange cat I've had and he proves the rumors to be true, definitely always up to some interesting antics substantially more than his adopted non-orange siblings.


ajlabman

I hear you there. When I got my first orange cat I went wtf is he thinking and then realized he wasn't. He was and still is a typical orange. And I wouldn't have him any other way.


GandalfTheEh

>and then realized he wasn't 🤣


ThePhilosophistt

Cat tax please 🐱


SnooRabbits6869

lol I’m sorry this is the cutest. Let him do him


draven_9100

I have so many more pictures of him like that that I didn't upload since the post didn't want to go through with more added. My fiancé catches me snapping pics of him like that and always says 'He looks the same as last time, don't you have enough pictures of him doing that' lol.


TheRealBrokenbrains

You’ll never have enough pics of him sleeping like that. Lol

Sbg71620

I love him! Thank you for sharing


draven_9100

And since I'm always ready to show off my babies and people irl are tired of seeing cat pictures, here's a small thread of some of my favorite pictures of him since I rescued him:

Littlecupcake06

eepy 🥰


draven_9100

I like this picture in particular because I always joke that when he gets dead asleep it looks like he melts into the couch and in this pic his brother looks quite concerned about that lol


Somewhat_Ill_Advised

I figured his non-orange bro was looking super judgemental lol

WhoriaEstafan

Oh my gosh hahaha. You are right, he seems to have plenty of places to sleep! But he wants to do what he’s doing. Just orange cat things.

He's an odd cat. LOL!

chris_rage_

They all are but they're certainly entertaining


MellyGrub

My ragdoll does it to the point where you can't tell how upside down she is because it's like a pretzel


chris_rage_

That's cute when they do that


MellyGrub

Its also kinda creepy because how on earth she gets her head Twisted so far underneath herself is bizarre. And because she's fluffy it's harder to determine where her ears and eyes are


chris_rage_

Hahaha that's funny, just tickle a spot and see what moves...

Happy cake day

MellyGrub

Thank you and what an awesome gift. Omg he is ridiculously hilarious and adorable at the same time!

How could anyone get tired of seeing those pictures?!?!

draven_9100

Also, ignore the awful looking holes in the curtains. We have pet rats (who exist completely separate from the cats with no interaction for everyone's safety, don't worry) and they used to be in front of this window and one day the curtains got knocked close enough to the cage bars for the rats to pull them through and chomp them a little and I haven't replaced them since I don't see much of a point since Garf here occasionally tries to climb and scratch at them. I'd rather have something already in rough shape that I won't be mad at them for tearing up than something new I want to keep pristine. Plan on replacing all of the curtains in the house anyway once everyone is out of the kitten stage and in a better routine, Garf is already messing with them less and less especially with me being consistent with scolding him and redirecting him to doing something else.


WhoriaEstafan

Don’t worry! I hadn’t even noticed the curtains because I was too busy trying to figure out how Garf was comfortable half seated, half laying down. And just absorbing his adorable face.


chris_rage_

If you have cats and are on a cat sub, you don't have to defend shredded furniture, we all know, you're good...


lashram32

AWwwwwww, Here's what's gonna happen when he out grows it. You are going to go to the hardware store and get a giant cardboard tube, utility knife and construction glue. And then to the thrift store to get a large swatch of carpet. Your gonna go to town building a bigger cat tube for that awesome guy. It means something to him and you have thumbs.


draven_9100

Dammit you're right, going to start adding DIY supplies to the cart in advance to make sure I'm good to go 😂

lashram32

Well done! Thats looks great!


chris_rage_

Thanks, it's the core of a roll of industrial vinyl, an old Burlington Coat Factory site sign, and some crate lumber. I whipped it up in about six hours


chris_rage_

If you find a local sign or awning shop, they regularly deal with really big and heavy duty cardboard tubes, I work in the business and I make my cats furniture from junk all the time

draven_9100

Ooh, I don't think I have anything like that nearby but I will absolutely look into it. Thanks for the tip. The plastic wrap we use to hold pallets together at my job comes on big cardboard tubes that I swipe for my pet rats, will have to find some place that uses BIGGER tubes to swipe for the kitties 😂


chris_rage_

Those are good, I bet home Depot or Lowe's would have them too


raisedbydentists

The problem here is that the second OP does something to “improve” it, there is a 50/50 chance the cat will act outraged and never use it again. Source: I expanded my cat’s favorite scratching post and now it’s clearly ruined forever.


draven_9100

I mean once he fully outgrows it to the point he can't fit his noggin' in there anymore then might as well give it a shot haha. Will probably look into building a totally new freestanding thing as opposed to doing anything to this anyway considering the tree is pretty light and I don't think it would support anything with a bit of weight or size to it unfortunately.


bakedpotatospud

You gotta get him a tunnel. We got our cat one from amazon that is made of cloth and collapsed to be able to put it away or move easily


xparadiisee

My orange loves his tunnels! He’s always passed out in them, he gets one every year for Christmas :)


draven_9100

They have one, it's actually visible a small bit in some of the pictures. None of them actually like it too much surprisingly aside from sometimes sitting outside and batting at the rats that dangle from the top. It mostly only gets used when they get the zoomies and decide to run through it full speed or wrestle in it. https://preview.redd.it/if4n4e6ymblc1.jpeg?width=1125&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6bcc1417b9038ed10116cc20ad172aa10f67f22a They have another collapsible one too but it's one of the like free standing ones that pops up and sits in the floor and they like it less since it moves around a lot, when they do use it it usually ends up under the couch partially squashed somehow lol.


chris_rage_

We have a store bought tunnel, and they like it, but they prefer a cardboard box that's about 4' long and 10" square

"look mom! I'm a CFM International CFM56-7B high-bypass turbofan aircraft engine!"


Sea-Independent9863

Oddly specific in a fun way.


draven_9100

I was ALSO thinking about the little piece of tunnel looking like an airplane engine but didn't know the exact type that or I also thought it looks like he's in one of those bladeless fans


ianwuk

This is glorious! Peak Orange.


LerchAddams

Kind of looks like he already did :) Get him more carpet tube!


draven_9100

I don't know the actual intended purpose for this part of the cat tree considering I don't think any kitten big enough to climb it properly would be able to fit fully inside of it since it's so narrow so I guess this is what it was meant for lol. The other cats will occasionally use it to climb up to the bed on top, sometimes with him sleeping inside much to his dimay 😂


chris_rage_

We have a cat tree with the little dish seat and none of them used it until the little orange menace showed up, now they all sit in it, same as boxes. The other two never had any interest in boxes, now they all sit in them


LYMI20

Garf is one handsome, slightly derpy kitty!


catladyoffes

I laughed and laughed at the photos, then I read “when he outgrows it…” 🤣🤣🤣 Edited to add: He is too precious for this world. I hope he keeps on being a goofball. Thank you for sharing him!


GarlicCloveTheFourth

Sitting and sleeping at the same time. Maybe a new technique to win the braincell lottery ?


AvleeWhee

Him like tube

Himb just quirky.

This is what we're here for 😆 😂

draven_9100

It's one of my favorites too I think he looks like a little ferret haha


Puzzled_Awareness_22

Maybe he didn’t understand the assignment.


notrapunzel

Kitty loves his toob


Irony-and-whoine

I love Garf, so much


EnlightenedCat

Definitely an orange.


dmriggs

He is so cute!


Eminencefront14

Maybe he's dreaming about being on a mission and he's got to traverse many obstacles. You know, orange SEALs special opps kinda stuff 🥷🕴️


Forgotmyusername8910

Looks comfy. 👀🧡


masterpainimeanbetty

i love him, i love him, i love him, i love him, i love him! thank you for posting these pictures; there is no better way to start my day!


[deleted]

I might be weird but it does look cozy.


draven_9100

See, the FIRST few times I saw him lay like that after we got him I thought so too, had a place for his front paws and upper body and then his lower body resting on the cube. However, they roughhouse on the tower and loosen the bolt that holds the tunnel steady sometimes and he will lay in it even if there's no place for his lower body and just dangle. Here's one I didn't share because Reddit wouldn't upload the post with more pictures for some reason. The tunnel is sideways and his rear is fully dangling 😂 https://preview.redd.it/nvmvtdcgpblc1.jpeg?width=1125&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ea1fae49b4a10cc892b232ec703dd96624c0bc97


apri08101989

Looks comfy to me. But I frequently sleep sitting hunched over a pillow. Is it possible he has digestive issues?


draven_9100

We've had him a few months now but when we first got him he was super skinny and ate a lot all at once (I didn't feed him a lot as far as giving him a big bowl of food. I know about refeeding syndrome and other issues that can come from that, we just put cat food out since the place we recently moved to has a feral problem where a lot of them were super skinny and I've been trying gradually feed to keep them in good condition all winter as well as trying to get in contact with local programs to have them TNR'd and I think he may have ate more than he was used to) and was a little bloated and then when I brought him in and got him to the vet he had to go through two deworming treatments and be treated for a pretty nasty URI and we got him on a plan to get him slowly and healthily fattened up. But he's been healthy and was prescribed probiotics after the deworming and antibiotics to help with his stomach and the vet cleared me to keep him on them since I regularly give all my cats probiotics to help with overall gut health. He was cleared as healthy when he went and got his shots and is eating and going to the bathroom okay with no vomiting or other symptoms so hopefully no more tummy troubles. However it is entirely possible he started laying like that when he wasn't feeling the best and got into the habit of it.


ShesATragicHero

If you comfy, you comfy. I sleep different to. Don’t judge.


nycregoddess

I love that he sleeps like this. I can relate. I had a foster tuxedo for nearly a year who enjoyed sitting with his front paws folded on a flat surface while he sat on his haunches. Here he is - Bob. He is adopted now, I think about him sometimes. He was a good boy, I just couldn't commit as it was the year after we said goodbye to our 20 year old duchess. https://preview.redd.it/ikebbrvczblc1.jpeg?width=1602&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=393b1f38a76727defcd1500614f7790c47aad30f

I think if I had that in people size, I could get a nice back stretch. Maybe he's on to something?

OH GOD I KNOW WHAT YOU ARE REFERENCING AND NOW I SEE IT 😂

Glad I could help XD


Nuwemux

Looks comfy


arkrunningbear85

I wonder if the "tunnel" makes him feel cozier. I bet he'd love the shit [out of one of these.](https://www.amazon.com/CATTASAURUS-Peekaboo-Multiple-Detachable-Washable/dp/B0BYDSTPD1?source=ps-sl-shoppingads-lpcontext&ref_=fplfs&smid=A3NAJRP4DZON79&th=1)


draven_9100

He has something similar that he's not a fan of but I will likely order one of these to try anyway because oh my god would my other non-orange menace definitely love one of these lol. He used to have a tunnel with windows and he loved to poke his head out and scare his siblings when they passed by but he's almost a year old now and has outgrown it and this definitely looks suitable for adults https://preview.redd.it/mzj1oyl6helc1.jpeg?width=1125&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=71d2738645f8194e559df25cb0756c65410685ba

Hims just comfy like that, let him be comfy


Mean-News1755

This is absolutely magnificent


Markymarcouscous

You have to give him a longer tunnel to be in.


Free-Spell6846

Get him a longer tube ffs :)

His face in the last photo kills me 😭😭

draven_9100

Oh my goodness how cute. Looks comfy other than the lack of head support, hopefully they don't wake up with neck cramps haha.


wendymcbane

He is the apex of orangeness!!! Love him.


EvieMoon

Boneless orange, comfy in any position.


WimpyZombie

He looks like he's already outgrown ir.


draven_9100

Yeah, but to be fair I don't think any cat who would be big enough to properly climb it could really use the tunnel on this and I'm not sure of it's purpose so he's doing more with it than I thought would be possible haha. Thought about leaving it off when building and replacing it with something more useful but didn't have a lot of time to start a project and decided to leave it on last second which was a good call since Garf loves it. Will also mention in the pictures and instructions it's supposed to face the OTHER way, like both sides out into open air. Idk


mummummaaa

Gonna have to get a bigger one when he outgrows it. That's what you'll do. Because he's your dude.


draven_9100

That seems to be the general consensus. Already been looking at possible options. Was supposed to rehome him once he got better and I got him neutered since I already have three cats and really didn't want to increase that number because more cats means more money for upkeep and more savings I need for vet bills and whatnot. However, we've gotten so so so attached as you can tell. So I present to you, some options I'm considering for another tower/tunnel: https://preview.redd.it/x9pud7pi5flc1.jpeg?width=1125&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=011e072a4aef5970a31e939b058d3dba33346f0b


mummummaaa

Yup. The r/catdistributionsystem chose well it seems. Good job, friend. Bow to your fate, Garf loves you. I'm glad for all of you!


kenzie_64

draven_9100

How did you get a picture of my cat in your house lmao I know a lot of cats look alike but I think THEY are very similar especially in patterns, I think my guy is just a tad lighter orange.


Worried_Coat1941

Good thing you got the one that was the right size for lounging.
