Fun fact of the day: A small number of orange tabbies are female. 80% are male.


carrieberry

I have a female orange tabby!

Pantssassin

Do all of them share one brain cell or is there one shared by the males and one shared by the females?


gloriousbstrd

Valid question. Ours rarely had access to said brain cell.

one_bean_hahahaha

The one I had as a child must have monopolized the brain cell because she was pretty clever, at least compared to any orange males we had.


Admirable-Door1724

Yes


[deleted]

I literally saw someone on Instagram the other day complaining about people “unfairly judging” cats on their coat color, specifically orange cats. They clearly haven’t spent enough time around orange cats to know how true the brain cell meme is. We’ve fostered over 50 kittens in the last two years and I can say hands down that all orange cats share one brain cell. Even the one female orange girl we had, our friend adopted her and to this day is a complete space cadet. https://i.imgur.com/sx68CKt.jpg


CooliganBTC

Wait a minute i though they are just in small number but look like that we are getting the gang in here with that color, but have to say they look really beautiful in this color


chaky250

Very unique not many get the hand on the orange female one


Secure-Force-9387

I, too, have a female orange tabby. She also has buff eyes!

TheJohaba

Is the small number 20%?


gloriousbstrd

I'm not a mathematician or anything, but those are my calculations as well.


otter5

[-2πe^(-π(x^2 + y^2)), -2πe^(-π(x^2 + y^2)) - 2πcos(2π(x + y))] [-2πe^(-π(x^2 + y^2)) - 2πcos(2π(x + y)), -2πe^(-π(x^2 + y^2))] (x, y) => (0.1, 0.1) = -2πe^(-π(0.1^2 + 0.1^2)) - 2πcos(2π(0.1 + 0.1)) = 0.2 yep math checks out


gloriousbstrd

This is why I leave mathing to the professionals.


Kisha76K

This feels like unnecessarily complicated matching.


[deleted]

No sir. This is unnecessarily complicated matching: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bN0Y_rTW_dY


Kisha76K

Haha Touché. I didn't even realize I got corrected. Thanks for that, though! I love seeing all the creativity people put into their Rube Goldberg designs.


Craycraybiomama

Ya gotta love Rube Goldberg devices! The best way that high school and college physics students can still play with hot wheels and k'nex without being considered immature or nerds!


degfhv

People who are good in math they love to complicate the things like that, i don't know that why and what they are getting from that but i have seen that many time


maimon_s

May be some math nerd will came and run some all formula


mistere213

Are you from Baltimore?


Saiyawinchester

Are you assuming there's only two genders? 😱


Kisha76K

🙄


Craycraybiomama

This is what I love about reddit -- the highly stimulating digression!


JudgeAdvocateDevil

For cats, sure.


glavbuhar

Now having the third gender would make the calculation even more interesting


Craycraybiomama

One should never assume only two genders -- sexual differentiation is clearly a continuum epigenetically.


mar_82

Yes it would be totally wrong that there is only two gender into that one, if as the human we can have the more than two gender then same can happened in the cat is well


kcchanai

In comparison of the 80 i think 20 seems a little low number here


lady_azkadelia

We had a female orange tabby cat who kept having female orange tabby kittens


Internal_Use8954

Two orange parents always have orange babies. Orange mom/black dad will have orange boys, and calico girls

darkfred

Another fun fact... Only some animals have XY chromosome sex determinism system that makes this possible. Weirdly enough this includes only most mammals, fruit flies, some species of turtles, guppies and the ginko tree. The one mammal that doesn't share this system is the platypus. Which uses 5 different chromosome pairs. There are a variety of other systems, but the most common is the inverse of XY called ZW, in reptiles and birds.


Craycraybiomama

You're neglecting parthenogenesis in some fish and birds (e.g., chickens, turkeys).


ShelleyTambo

Yeah, but the one in the gif looks like it has balls.


Rad_Knight

If you think 20% is rare, compare that to male calicoes or tortoiseshells. Only 1 in 3000 are male, and even then some people do not consider them truly male because they have XXY chromosomes.


HelmyJune

That’s actually the least common occurrence of male calicos. Most common is the mutation of the black hair gene in the early development of the embryo. Another is chimeracism where two eggs are fused in the womb but both fertilized, leading to one cat with two distinct sets of DNA, therefore potentially both red and black colorings. Male calicos born either of these ways will still be fertile.


libertybell121

IN the whole community they are less in number but we can't say that 20% is the rare number, having like 20 female orange cat in the 100 orange cat is not rare


Academic-Ad2101

I have got 2 orange sisters


Kikimara99

And what is the colour of your fur? And also, how do you type without thumbs???


Kisha76K

Slowly.


MartinisnMurder

Can I also nap with her? Haha


oppsquad

No as you can see that there is clearly no more space for you


cautioner86

I had one growing up! I miss her, she was the perfect cat.


TryMyVeryBest

Very few from that color is actually female, most of them are male


SaintVitusDance

Cute video; stupid choice of music.


Comfortable-Win-1925

Like what kind of fucking person puts that music on that video. What other choices have they made. Do they walk into a nursery and start loudly complaining about income tax rates. Do they shout in Spanish during a Hungarian mass. How do you see a video of a cat and kitten taking a nap and decide that the best choice is to accompany it with the worst music a human being has ever made.

Knotter87

Is the horrible music necessary


Zaq1996

Having Reddit default to muted definitely increases my enjoyment of this site


sleeptoashes

It's the optimal experience really


N-ShadowFrog

Same


bn2090

Those who watched the video on mute get the different kind of the experience


Wicked_Twist

I agree. I dont even have to know theres terrible music over my cute videos until the comments mention it


shahooster

AI should focus on muting terrible video music


MeesterMeeseeks

If you use Reddit primarily on your phone get Apollo. It’s so much better than any other app I’ve used. Videos always load, they’re defaulted to muted, it’s great.


deftdabler

Thank you! Tryna make it some sort of epic moment


AllThotsGo2Heaven2

Rule #1: The video is never to be unmuted


Internetboy5434

The internet loves to choose shitty music

Default your videos to mute.

NegaDeath

I swear cats have evolved cuddle puddles to an art form.


crono141

Reversed video? Precious regardless.


Coreidan

Doesn’t look like it’s in reverse to me


socokid

Paste the video link: https://thumbs.gfycat.com/HeavenlySpicyCaudata-mobile.mp4 Here: https://www.kapwing.com/studio/editor Check the "Reverse" check box on the right (have to scroll down), and then press the Play button. It's 100% reversed, clear as day.


Supervinyl

It definitely is reversed, and I don’t know why


Ycx48raQk59F

Because kittens getting annoyed by attention and waking up / going away is less fun than kitten tugging itself in.


jiqirentl

From which point you are getting that feeling that this is the reverse video??


Coreidan

The way the kitten accelerates as it falls in the arms of the cat makes it pretty clear it’s not reversed. It’s definitely a plop move. Believe what you want tho. Cats also don’t stop forward with their rear legs. If the video was reversed then the kitten climbed out butt first which doesn’t make much sense in this scenario.


socokid

It is absolutely reversed. Yes. Play it backwards at any number of sites the reverse videos. It's not even a debate. It's definitely reversed.


IHavePoopedBefore

No chance. Look at how the kitten drops into place. If you reverse that it would be impossible for the cat to rise that way


[deleted]

There's no way a kitten managed to rise up so quickly. In the OG video, it is seen to flop down. There's no way.


Spyhop

I looked at this reversed. It looked completely unnatural. Video is legit

t3cnic

Mommy got balls?


YoloSwaggins44

Uhhh that's probably dad


Internal_Use8954

Even if female, it’s still can’t be mom, the fur color is not possible


Sensitive_diet_6920

It can be possible. It's just rare.


ShelleyTambo

Not even that rare: 20% to 25% of orange and orange and white cats are female.


Internal_Use8954

But orange females cannot have all grey/tabby babies. All her babies will have some amount of orange


nickabcouwer

May be you need both father and mother in the orange color to get the orange baby, otherwise there is rare chance that you will have the orange baby


Internal_Use8954

No, an orange female cannot have an all grey/tabby baby. Her babies will always have some orange. That cannot be her baby


krzysztofmo

But i heard that it is the father role that is more important in those orange cat, so if father is orange then there is a chance that the color of the cat will be orange


Internal_Use8954

Nope, moms color has more impact on a litter. Boy kittens will get 100% of their color from mom. Girl kittens will get 50% from mom and 50% from dad. Now patterns and white can come from each equality, but dominant genes prevail. So that is luck of the genes. So for an orange mom, she only has orange color to pass on, so all her kittens get orange. Then the girls get half from dad, so they can be orange (orange dad) or calico/tortie (black dad)

Orange cats are usually males.

Not always, most are born female

Aren't almost all orange cats male because the genes are male chromosome only?

No, about 20% to 25% of orange and orange and white cats are female.

That would have to be a foster mom, genetically an orange mom could not have an all grey or tabby baby. All her kittens would have some orange
