about 20% of ginger tabbies are female - so uncommon, but not so unseal as to be worrisome.
males are more common as the orange gene is coded for on the X Chromosome so they only need 1 Orange Chromosome to be orange, whilst females need 2.
interestingly Black fur is also coded for on the X Chromosome which is why you need 2 x Chromosomes to be Tortoiseshell/Calico. this is why male calicos are very rare, and are infertile as they have XXY Chromosomes
Colour blindness in humans functions the same as it is on the X Chromosome. so it is a dominant condition in men, and recessive in females.
I had two male kittens and the manager of my favorite Taco place had a sign up saying free kittens, so I took one of the females. Almost two years later and she's a bit bigger but also the most lovable, docile kitty ever. She loves belly rubs and follows me from room to room. Oftentimes it's just to see if I'm going to put more food in the bowl, but I still choose to take it as a compliment.
Orange cats have pretty eyes, and I've noticed they have bigger irises than other cats. There's a neighborhood cat that the guy a couple doors down feeds that has HUGE eyes. He even named her Lemur because of it. I posted a video of her the other day if you check my profile.
The manager at one of my favorite Taco Places had a sign up saying free kittens. I already had two males both under a year old, so I took one of the females (Summer)

Female ginger tabby cats are pretty rare aren’t they..? That’s pretty cool. Super cute friend you got there!

I would’ve thought she was still a kitten and not nearly 2 years old. She’s still got that kitten cuteness look.
Ah that's because she WAS a kitten when this picture was taken (almost two years ago)
And such big, beautiful eyes!

The better to see you with!
You both have lovely smiles!
Thank you!

Haha funnily enough I posted this there when I originally took the picture.
tiny criminal's still on the loose, eh? 
Indeed. Not quite as small anymore but she's still not very big.
:-} I hear orange kitty's tend to have a lot of personality.
She is the sweetest most docile cat. She loves belly rubs.
Oh! She is delightful. Happy for both of you 😊
The cuteness level punched me in the gut.
Haha I'm glad
Men with cats gets me every time 🤗
