El orange tabby cat you can aspire to be the most outgoing animal of all house cats. Thanks to Garfield, the most loved cartoon cat by those of us who were children in the '90s, this is a furry man who can put a smile on our faces every day just by looking at us.
And it is that his look is very tender, and that is something that he tastes very well: he often uses it to get what he wants, from a candy to a caress. The funny thing is that you always get what you want, because ... Who can ignore the orange tabby cat?
Origin and characteristics of the tabby cat
The pattern of these beautiful animals is one of the oldest; in fact, if we compare a wild cat (for example, a mountain cat) with any domestic tabby cat, we will see that they have many common characteristics.
Orange tabby cats, also known as »orange tabby», They have many different fur: red, orange, or even golden yellow. According to the Cat Fanciers' Association, the breed they belong to can determine their behavior, since certain breeds share common personality traits.
Still, it is important to mention that 'orange tabby' are not a specific breed, but rather a type of color pattern that occurs in many feline breeds. A tabby cat of any color, including orange ones, has stripes on its fur, lines on his face and around his eyes and a kind of mark in the shape of an "M" on the forehead. The stripes usually appear a shade or two darker than the main orange of the coat.
And it is that these felines belong to different races, since there are both long-haired and short-haired.
Genetics of tabby cats
Tabby cats can have different color patterns. Gen T (tabby) is in charge of deciding what drawing the animal's fur will have:
- Golden tabby: base color gold or orange.
- Marbling or marbling (Blotched): broad color stripes, and they form swirls.
- Silver tabby: silver-colored base.
- Striped, striped or marbled (Mackerel): This pattern has stripes or bands all over the body. It is the most common.
- Spotted or spotted: spots distributed over the body.
- Tabby Tic (Ticked): with stippling of color in each hair.
- Orange tabby: like our protagonist, orange or white base with slightly darker orange stripes, which can be present all over the body or just somewhere.
Behavior of orange tabby cats
The cat that has this color pattern need to be properly socialized so they can become furry adults who want to spend time with the family. For this, it is important that from the month and a half of age humans take it in their arms and give it affection; Thus, little by little you will gain confidence in them and, in the course of a few days, you will want to play with them. When you have become comfortable with people, you can be separated from your mother. This will not be done unless the cat is at least eight weeks old., since during the first two months of life their mother and siblings will learn all the basics to be a cat: control the force of the bite, play, not stray too far from the safe place, or keep clean.
Like all the furry we bring home, the orange tabby you will need veterinary care: we will take you to examine you once a year, and to give you all the vaccinations that are required. Nor can we forget to sterilize him, especially if we do not intend to raise him or if he will have permission to go outside. In this way, by not having to go through heat, your life will be much calmer and longer lasting, since the chances of developing cancer are considerably reduced.
This is an intervention that veterinarians perform on a daily basis, which does not last more than an average of 30 minutes. The males recover quickly, in fact, it is likely that that same day they already want to return to their normal life; the females take a little longer: from 2 to 5 days, but considering that they will be able to enjoy their years of life more, it is worth it. And is that This is an intervention that will influence the character of the cat, making it more sedentary, calmer and even somewhat more sociable.
Still, how you are treated at home will be decisive. If he is educated with respect, affection and, above all, a lot of patience, I can assure you that that furry will never have any behavior problem. On the contrary, if it is ignored or mistreated, then you will live with a cat that will be afraid of you and all humans, and therefore will not be happy.
Having said that, buy toys Well, this cat loves to play. For this reason, if you have children, he will quickly become their new best furry friend 😉.
Orange tabby price
This beautiful and friendly cat you can find it in animal shelters, as in the protective ones, where you will only have to pay for the adoption expenses. This price is usually around 80 euros, which includes the microchip, vaccines and deworming.
Now, if you want a breed of cat with orange hair, such as the Manx or the Maine Coon, you will have to look for a professional kennel that is dedicated to raising these furry ones, and that also takes good care of them. For a kitten they can easily ask you between 300 and 500 euros, depending on the breed.
How to choose a good cattery to buy a tabby cat?
Serious and professional kennels have these characteristics:
- The facilities where the cats are are clean, without bad smells or stains.
- The animals look healthy and happy.
- Kittens spend as much time as they want with their mother, from whom they will not be separated until they are 2 or 3 months old.
- The manager answers all the questions you have.
- At the time of delivery, they will also give you all the papers related to the pedigree of the animal.
If you see something that doesn't quite convince you, turn around and look for another kennel.
The orange tabby cat is an amazing animal. Do you have a furry at home?
I have a cat like that, it is very beautiful, they are a really cute breed 🙂
The truth is yes 🙂

Hello Florence.
Orange tabby cats do not belong to any recognized breed. They are just little orange tigers 🙂.

Hello, I have a 3-month-old kitten that I was given up for adoption but her whiskers are cut off on one side. Will they grow back?
Hi Heidy.
No, unfortunately not 🙁
If they are going to grow: 3 quiet
At home I have a furry orange tabby. He is very loving and very friendly; he gives everyone love. And it is always present in every moment when sharing at home
Enjoy it 🙂
I intend to adopt a tabby cat but I am not sure how old it is.
(the cat is a stray) and I don't know very well how to educate it, it is very aggressive and I really want to adopt it
Hello Paula.
That cat is likely to be scared, hence he behaves that way.
The first thing you have to do is earn their trust. Bring him cans for cats and give them to him. Do not touch him at first, but over time he will get used to your presence, and that is when he will approach you. At that moment is when you can try to caress it, always making gentle movements.
With patience, that cat can become your new friend.
I adopted an orange tabby cat and it doesn't want to eat x + feed that is high-end in brands. please send tips. the cat is 1.1 / 2 years old and comes from a shelter where she was for 3 or 4 months. I gave him tuna, cream cheese and royal canin recovery cat. what else can I give you. Thank you
Hi jewel.
My advice is that you give it a feed that does not contain cereals, corn, barley, or derivatives. Cats do not need it and, in fact, cannot digest it well.
Another option is to give cooked chicken wings, liver, and organ meats.
A greeting.
Good, Sara. He sure is very happy by your side.
I have a cat like that, the truth is I picked it up from the street, and it is very cute, I mean, I have had it for a month and it cries when it is not caressed
Hello, I have a two-week-old tabby kitten, can I bathe him? He has many fleas, he is very friendly and I am giving him formula milk for newborn kittens, how many weeks or months does he need that type of milk?
Hi Lulu.
He is still very small 🙁. However, you can put a natural repellent that you will find in pet stores.
With regard to milk, you should drink it for at least 3 more weeks.
A greeting.
I had a furry tabby but it died, now at home I have two, one is the same color. My question is if this type of cat can always eat balanced food? , because my previous cat died of urinary tract infection, had a kidney problem and could not resist. Help me, I'm afraid that the same thing will happen to this furry!
Hi Liliana.
A cat must have a diet based on meat, as it is a carnivorous animal. It is not advisable to give them cereals or the like, since they do not need it and, in addition, it can give them an allergy.
A greeting.
Hello, I have an orange tabby kitten, he is very spoiled and he likes to attract attention. But today, consenting to him, I felt a small ball between his belly and his paw. Which may be? To get an idea while I can take him to the vet
Hi Lau.
Well, it is difficult to know. It may just be a breast, but it may have swallowed something it shouldn't have, or it may have swelling from an insect bite.
A greeting.
You have a really cool blog !!! congratulations, I love that you always write interesting, helpful and excellently written things. I just adopted an orange tabby kitten and I am new to the world of cats, so your blog is perfect for me.
Hello Caroline.
Thank you very much for your words 🙂
I'm glad it's helpful to you.
Congratulations on your furry! Hide the strings and laces, they love to play with them lol
A greeting.
Hi! Fate made two orange kittens come to me because their mother died. They were three weeks old. They have come out with a lot of effort and love. Now they are two and a half months old and they drive me crazy! (In a good way)
When do you recommend that I cast them? I read that from 6 months? If I could send a photo so you could see my bugs. All the best
Hi Virginia.
Congratulations on those two new members of the family 🙂
To castrate them, yes, at least you have to wait until they are six months old. There are veterinarians who do it before, with 5, but I recommend you wait a little longer, so that their bodies are more developed and can recover sooner.
A greeting.
We have picked up an orange kitten, the problem is that it bites a lot, it must have one between two to you
three months, how do I get it not to bite my children and me, you touch it and play biting
Hi Cesar.
For a cat to learn not to bite, the game has to stop as soon as it bites you and, above all, always have a toy that is between the animal and the person. Little by little the feline will learn that it is the toy that it must bite.
A greeting.
My orange tabby cat is the king of the house XD… .. he is approximately 9 months old I adopted him from the street little one… ..with no weight and the ribs looked like rubber… ..today he is just like Garfield…. … .Educated like someone else… .he lies down on his stomach so that his belly and legs can be rubbed… .he does not meow like normal cats…. He only emits a tender miiiii ……. Very sharp we castrate him very young…. He is beautifully hairy ...
I'm very happy Taty 🙂. These cats have a very special character.
My cat is very dependent, he follows me everywhere he does not let me eat, or do anything and meows all the time, he will have 2 months that I do, he was rescued from the street
Hello Ana.
He may not want to be alone because he misses his mother and siblings, and in your company he does not feel alone.
My advice is that you put on his bed some piece of clothing that you have used (a scarf for example). This will make you feel calmer.
If he meows, ignore him, otherwise he will learn that with the meows he will get your attention, and that cannot be because he cannot be with him 24 hours a day. Pay attention to him in those moments when you see him that he is calmer. At first it will cost, but as the days go by you will get used to it.
To help him, you can also use feliway or a tranquilizer spray product sold in veterinary clinics or pet stores. Spray the rooms in which you spend the most time, never directly to the cat (unless the product indicates it, as there are natural sprays that can be applied directly to the animal).
A greeting.
Hello, I just adopted today a 2-month-old kitten, I was on the street, my children followed us and my orange tabby took him to the vet and I put a collar and leash on him and he likes it, he feels comfortable and is very docile and friendly and super clean from the start made in your sand
!! Congratulations!! Enjoy your company 🙂
Well, I have an orange tabby cat that I rescued when he was 2 days old, another adult male was eating his brothers, and he was lucky that I was there, now he is a magnificent animal, never before seen another cat and he behaves as if we were his boss
It is the milk, the only problem is that it does not allow itself to be touched by strangers only by those of us who live with it.
Congratulations 🙂
I have a cat like that too, who distrusts strangers.
You can always ask those people to give you cat treats, so you can trust them.
A greeting.
Hello barbara.
We are glad that you like the blog. And thank you very much for sharing! 🙂
I have a beautiful cat at home, many times he has very bad games, he bites and snarls but his face shows that it is not because of aggressiveness, they are his games, when there are children at home he goes crazy scares them but it is playing with them, many Sometimes it is hard for me to pay attention but it is barely 1 year old

Congratulations on having a Garfield 🙂.

Hello, my kitten died two days ago, and it was yellow with orange stripes, it was very beautiful, at first I didn't like any cat, in fact I repudiated them but he came and made me change everything completely, he was only 7 months old and had 5 of them. with me. When I arrived my family told me that he had died from a blow, but we all do not know where the blow came from, but it seems very strange to me because he had no blood, but if he lost the color in his ears, nose and mouth, he was totally white and His pupils were completely dilated, immediately after the blow he entered totally disoriented and moved his arms but in a matter of minutes he died, I do not know for sure if they hit him in the neck, or if a car ran over him, although he had no sign that tell us that they had been run over. I feel so sad about his death, I would like to know if it is appropriate to adopt one and of the same race, to try to cope with the grief. Thanks greetings
Hi Katherin.
I am very sorry for the loss of your kitten 🙁.
Regarding your question, it depends a lot on each one. My advice is to wait a bit, until you have recovered a bit from the duel. Then you can enjoy your »new» cat more.
Much encouragement.
Hello, I can feed my 4-week-old kitten. I give him baby food crushed with pate and then bibi of vetetin's milk but sir, he loosens his tummy thanks
Hi, Viki.
At 4 weeks she can only eat kitten food, and water 🙂.
A greeting.
I have a very affectionate tabby kitten, his name is Yuyin, we have him for three years and he is part of our family, my baby loves him.
For a month a tabby kitten entered my house through the window, he came back every day, I suppose it belongs to a neighbor, I don't know well, now he doesn't leave the house anymore, he waits for me to come home from work and he comes out to greet me, He is very affectionate, he purrs at every step, a love !!! I feel like he adopted me !! I don't know how old he is, but he's big, and I don't know what to do…. give him vaccinations? Sterilize it? I am in doubt because maybe it belongs to a neighbor and I do not know if he would be upset, although the kitten for about three weeks has only gone out to the garden, takes a couple of laps and returns to my house (I always leave a fan open for him) that is to say He is always with me ... in the, I have not put him in the study ... with the fan open in case he wants to leave, because I have dogs that sleep inside the house because of the cold .... anyway!!! I'm happy I love this beautiful kitten, but I don't know what attitude to take ... can you give me some advice?
Hi Clara.
My advice is to put up »Cat Found» posters with the furry photo, as someone may be looking for it.
In the meantime, take care of it as you already do and if in about 15 days no one has claimed it, then I would recommend sterilizing it.
Greetings 🙂.
Hello, I fell in love with a furry orange tabby for 2 months, they tell me he will have long hair which makes me more excited to adopt him. Is it true that the temperament of oranges is complicated ??? Or is it a myth? It's the only thing that makes me doubt. What can you tell me about it? Greetings
Hello Caroline.
Color does not determine character. It is true that black cats are usually calmer than others, and that oranges tend to be very playful in their youth, but it depends a lot on each animal and, above all, on the environment in which it grows up and lives.
I can tell you that I had an orange cat when I was a child, and it was a sweetheart: very calm and affectionate.
A greeting.
Hello Monica, I am writing to thank you for your response about the temperament of these beautiful furry friends. I tell you that after reading you, I adopted the kitten and it could not be more sweet, affectionate and companion, it is almost 5 months old and it is the darling of the house.
Thank you, your comment made me decide because for not knowing I had a certain prejudice with orange kittens. Greetings
Great, I'm glad it worked for you. Congratulations on the little one! 🙂
Hello, I have a yellow tabby kitten, she is the love of my life, this article helped me to know her breed since I am in the process of registering her as a member of the family, thank you very much for your articles
Thanks to you for commenting 🙂. Congratulations on the new member of the family !!
Hello. I am thinking of buying a brindle Persian .. Do you think it is more active than the traditional white Persian? I would like it very much since it is for my 10 year old daughter. Thanks
Hi, Diana.
The color of a cat does not influence character. Yes, it is true that tabby cats tend to be somewhat more active, but there really is everything. When in doubt, I recommend spending time with the puppies. So you can choose the one you like the most. 🙂
Although his character will not be fully developed, you can get an idea of what he is like.
Anyway, and without wanting to get where they don't call me, have you thought well about having a cat? I ask you because they can live 15 years or more. Y give a cat at christmas it doesn't always work out.
A greeting.
Hi! I always had pet dogs, until six months ago when an orange tabby cat one year or more appeared at my house and decided to adopt me, believe me I have NEVER met anyone more affectionate, sweet, protective than him, he is absolutely adorable !!! Soft, very attentive, she follows me around the house, if I sit down she sits next to me, if I'm cooking she is aware of all my movements, when I go out and come back she comes out to meet me and caresses my legs with her walk, it is LOVELY!! As it is the first time that I have a cat, I do not know what others will be like, but these types of kittens are wonderful!
How nice… 🙂 You made me smile hehe Seriously, congratulations. From what you count, you are both very happy, and that is what matters.
Greetings again
Before I had the 5 black and white cats, I had this one he was very affectionate with me and naughty his name was move because he was very mobbed by everything they ran over him and we tried to save him but no ... he died 🙁 but I finally had my 5 kittens 🙂 I tried to do what that I could.
Hello, would you recommend neutering a cat or sterilizing it?
I have a very beautiful 3-month-old orange puffed-up toy and bite
How can I do so that they do not bite so much I know that he does not do it with aggression because he purrs is like expressing affection but he does not measure his strength is a love
Hi Sara.
The most recommended age to neuter or spay a cat is 5-6 months. At 3 months he is still very young.
For it to learn not to bite you, you simply have to remove your hand each time it does, and leave it on the floor if it was on the sofa or bed.
You have to be very patient and constant, but in the end you will see how you will achieve it. Give him a stuffed animal or other toy to chew on and not on your hands.
A greeting.
I need your advice, my kitten must be between 2-3 years old, my children are on vacation, my son has arrived first with his kitten, and this next week my daughter arrives with hers, that is, I will have three kittens at home, when The first kitten arrived, my cat got annoyed, growled and snorted, the cat was very scared and the first day she became very angry, growled and was very restless, I must say that they are separated from environments, my son's cat in a room and My kitten in another, when the cat comes out the cat is locked in another space and vice versa, we go two days like this, in three days my daughter will arrive with her kitten (I must comment that the two cats (my son's and my daughter's ) they live together and are very close), I would like to ask for advice so that my kitten becomes friends with them! At last it is his space and the kittens invade him, they are under one year old! Or should I keep keeping them in separate spaces for the next two months? Help me please!! Thank you! How do I make friends and play everyone?
Hi Clara.
If the two cats get along, my advice is that for a week you have them in the same room and your cat loose around the house. On the third day, put the cats' beds in a place where the cat can smell them, and the cat's bed in the room where the cats are. The next day, he swaps the beds again. Do it again until seven days have passed.
From the second week on, take the cats out so they can be together with your cat. Keep an eye on them.
If you see that they hiss, it is normal. But if you see that any of the three get very nervous and intend to attack (bristling hair, bristling tail, eyes wide open, mouth open showing fangs, grunting), introduce the cats into the room and try again the next day.
If you can, try to get Feliway, which is a product that helps them to be much calmer. It is sold in pet stores.
Much encouragement.
Hello, in the garden of my school, they threw three newborn cats in a box, two families took two kittens and one I stayed and I looked for a nurse cat to give him milk, the cat adopted him and gave him everything her love, now I'll bring her home, but I'm sorry to take her away from her fake mom. She is a tiger kitten, she is wonderful and very playful, but I have little space in my depot and I live on the third floor, I am afraid that she will fall, what can I do. Thankssss
Hi Adi.
How old is the kitten now? If he is less than a month old, he should keep the cat that has adopted him, as there is no milk that can replace that produced by the cats.
In the case that it is already a month old or more, you can start giving it soft food (wet food for kittens), or dry food soaked with water.
To prevent it from falling you must have the doors and windows closed. Being so small it will not be difficult for him to get used to being inside an apartment. You can put wire mesh (grid) on the windows or on the balcony if you have one.
A greeting.
Hello, I have a tabby kitten that I was given two months ago and that I adore very much. The cat is approximately 4 to 5 months old. At home I have a neutered Siamese cat of about 7 years old; In all this time that the kitten has been home, the Siamese only gets angry and growls at him and peels his teeth every time the kitten wants to play with him, he does not tolerate it. As much as the kitten wants to play, the Siamese rejects it, it gets on very badly with him. I do not know if it will always be that way or if one day the Siamese cat will play with it or tolerate it. I have read on the Internet that if in months they did not get along, they will never get along and it would be better to give the other kitten. What I can do?
Hi Edgar.
I recommend you be patient. The kitten is an "intruder" to the adult cat, someone who has entered its territory.
To help them, it is advisable to use Feliway in diffuser, and give many awards to both, at the same time. What usually works very well are cans of wet feed.
Another thing you can do is keep the kitten locked in a room for three days. Cover his bed with a blanket, and do the same with the adult cat's bed. If you swap the blankets on the second and third day, you will get them used to the other's smell, which will help them get along a little better.
Cheer up.
Hello, I have just been given an orange and white tabby kitten, I think it is not even two months old, the poor thing is very scared and does not allow itself to be caught, it hides and snorts at me, it has spent the night meowing. Any advice to adapt it?
Thank you very much
Hello Sonia.
Congratulations on the new member of the family 🙂
It is normal for him to be very scared. To help you a little I recommend you buy Feliway (in a diffuser), and give him cans of wet kitten food from time to time. The first will give you confidence, since it is a product made with synthetic pheromones that relax cats; food will make you gain confidence faster.
Of course, it is also important to invite him to play, for example with a rope. Little by little it will be caressed, for sure.
Cheer up.
I have 3 cats, one male and 2 females. All rescued.
Better to adopt or rescue than to buy, no doubt. Congratulations 🙂
We are going to adopt a 2 month old orange tabby cat. In my house (a fifth floor) I have very large windows. Do cats usually have parachutist syndrome (wanting to jump out the window)? Any way to educate cats not to look out? You wouldn't want to have to put screen on the windows.
Greetings and congrats for the website.
Hello Alberto.
Yes, cats can have parachutist syndrome 🙁. We have an article that talks about him, here.
The most recommended and effective is to put a mesh, it is the safest for him.
A greeting.
Hello, I adopted two 3-month-old tabby kittens, one more orange than the other, they are brothers, it is my first time with cats and I am loving it, they are super clean, they use their litter boxes, I think the mother taught them very well. They are super super playful and affectionate. They have a tunnel, balls and a stick that has feathers at the tip that they adore, and a bed that they do not use. They prefer the armchair hahaha but I love them. Something that you advise me to make them feel better?
Hi Mildred.
I think they have everything a cat could want: a person who is delighted with them, toys, beds, ...
Give them wet kitten food every now and then. They will love it 🙂
A greeting.
I have one that I adopted from a shelter, he was only 2 weeks old and he is already a year and 4 months old.
He immediately stole my heart. He is very playful and mischievous. It is very good company, where I go he follows me, I am never alone but that if ... when he wants pampering he looks for me, he always tries to escape
He wakes me up every day very early. In my family they do not like cats and from that moment they do not visit me, I understand but I have my Timmy?
Hello Monica, I tell you that I am allergic to cats, my face swelled my eyes and a lot of coughing, in a moment of trite a patient showed me the kitten when I lifted it I saw how a golden thread came out of my heart towards the cat ( I am not lying, it is real) and I did not get inflamed or caused an allergy, he suffered since he had not adapted to that house because he is very afraid of dogs and there was one there, I love him with all my heart he is 5 months old and 1 year ago half I have it, on the weekend we asutos ate a bag and almost died we lasted every 2 hours giving them serum and making them aware of it for more than 24 hours, fortunately for all the vomit that he gave him he was able to expel that but from that moment he recovered and is unbearable, it bites too much even if we have a toy in the middle, it grabs my hair. My son bites my husband and he did not do it, he votes things on the ground, he climbs everywhere and eats everything he finds, one scolds him and answers me all rude (heh, but cute) and now he meows he fights us he loves us He hates us, it is very intense I don't know what else to do ... before he was in the house now we have to leave him in the patio enclosed in that space, and by the way I have scratching toys, balls, mice, a mat he even likes to wrap him in a Take a blanket and scratch his mustache and face with a toothbrush, but he's very tired, I don't know what else to do ... the bites make me sad, that hurts us a lot ... I hope you can help me
Hi Brenda.
The first thing I would recommend is that you do not have it in that venue. This will make you more nervous as you have previously gotten used to being at home.
I understand that you do not want him to bite, but to teach him that you have to do other things. For example, whenever you intend to bite, just walk away from him, leaving him alone. When he's calm, give him a cat treat or toy.
Also, do not play roughly with it. I mean, it's not a dog. Many times when we play with dogs we make them growl, give them a toy and pull it, ... well, we do a series of things that, if we do with cats, they could feel threatened and, therefore, attack. Nor should he be forced to do anything.
Above all, you have to be very patient. Behavioral problems can take weeks or even months to fix. But with respect and affection, anything is possible 🙂.
A greeting.
Hi! When you say that you should not give them cereals, do you mean balanced food?
Thank you
Hi Lena.
No, I mean all kinds of food. Cats cannot digest cereals well, and this ingredient often causes health problems, such as allergies or cystitis.
A greeting.
Hello, a while ago I saved two kittens like that from the streets, they were not together in the same place, one appeared first and the other minutes later very close, now I want to ask they are both physically identical, it is difficult to distinguish them, they also look alike in gestures, there may be jimaguas cats or something similar
Hello Elisa.
Twin cats? I've never heard it, really. But yes, it can happen.
A greeting.
I have a cat with these characteristics, which we took up for adoption when she was 4 months old, with whom we are delighted. He is sweet, affectionate, playful, receptive and does not stop purring when we fuck him. He, 7 months old, and our usual cat, 15 years old, live together. They generally get along well. The only "but" is that it does not cover the feces with sand, and the ñorda of the condemned man smells bad ... Is there a solution or wait for it to mature more? Thanks in advance.
Hi July.
Not covering their stools in principle is normal, and that they smell bad too. But ... what kind of feed do you give it?
I ask you because I myself have verified that if you give him one that does not contain cereals (Applaws type, taste of the wild, Orijen, etc.) that smell is not that strong. It is true that by containing only meat, the price becomes more expensive, but it spreads more because they are more nutritious, and with less quantity they are already satisfied.
Grains (rice, oatmeal, corn, etc.) are not needed by cats, and can actually cause significant health problems, such as cystitis, not being able to digest them.
A greeting.
Thanks Monica. We will taste the food you suggest.
I wish I had an orange tabby cat, I will convince my mom to let me have one
