Orange cats without tabby markings and of a deep rich red are a very beautiful variety.

These cats are useful to breed with other colours, and are, therefore, becoming very popular.

They should be of a deep rich red or orange, with as little shading, and as few markings as possible, the colour should be deep right up to the lips; white or shading light on the chin and lips is a great fault.

Orange cats can be crossed with oranges, tortoise-shells, blacks and blues. Never cross with the tabby variety, or else you will spoil the solidity of the orange.

The eyes should be deep orange or golden.
