That's what my vet called it. In other words, the gene mutes the orange color, resulting in a blonde/buff coat. Vet said my cat is "an orange tabby with the mute gene". It doesn't make her stop meowing lol. She's very vocal
Whaaat? I never knew that and I have one. I knew about the odds of having a male calico but I didn't know about the female orange tabby.

I have a r/cats Home Screen widget, and I saw the preview as “After 10 years with Sophie, aka the love…” I thought it would be another mourning post but I’m so happy it’s not! Love for Sophie!!! ❤️

My vet called it a "mute gene" and said that it is very rare. Your girl is gorgeous

Your cat is so gorgeous! Just jumping in the cream tabby appreciation! My girl is a bit darker and more warmed toned than yours and OPs.

This is my pet peeve but orange tabby girls are not that rare, merely uncommon. 1 in 4 are female. Calico males are the truly rare ones at 1 in 3000.
She is seriously gorgeous! I've never seen a kitty with her coloring, with the eye color especially. She also just has such feminine bone structure too. Love her. I want one!!
I totally agree!! Sophie is so expressive. She's getting older now though... I don't get her sweet as pie self with hearts coming out of her eyes as often as I used to, and it's so hard.
I knew this about cream tabbies but can anyone tell me if you get male tortoiseshell cats? Basically the sort of reddish, white and black ones? I'm not sure of they're called tortoiseshell everywhere else lol.
Oops edited to add she's gorgeous you lucky devil!
She's absolutely adorable♥️

This is true. Only about 20% are female.
Then tack on the percentage that have the mute gene
I have also heard it referred to as the 'dilute' gene
Mute gene? Referring to the light color? I'm unfamiliar.

Hadn't heard that term. Thanks for sharing. I've got two orange female tabby cats. Can agree they are very vocal.

She looks almost lilac! What a beautiful (and photogenic) girl.

She has yet to get lost, but hoping it's abundantly clear to anyone who might find her lol.
Where would one find such a cute collar? No plans on losing my baby but it’s cute af.
That little tin on the table might be a clue
Well, now I feel like an idiot. Thank you though!
I laughed out loud.
Dats one cute baby
Oh geeze!!!! And you only put one picture??? We needed at least 4!!!! Sophie is beautiful

Thank you, your baby is gorgeous too!! I love her white tummy 
Thank you! Your babies eyes are so stunning!
So is your baby! They look even lighter colored than Sophie. So cute!

>r/CreamsicleCats Oh! I didn't get any specific stats on cream kitties, just that they're uncommon in the same way chocolate cats are. Good to know!
I’d say they’re rare, you can find plenty online but I’ve never seen one irl
Super pretty
She's such a cutie!
She is seriously gorgeous! I've never seen a kitty with her coloring, with the eye color especially. She also just has such feminine bone structure too. Love her. I want one!!
Beautiful girl!
Those eyes speak volumes , what a happy kitteh!! 🥰we love you Sophie

Cutest cutie wearing the cutest collar!
You found a shiny in real life!
Such a pretty kitty 😺
She has super amazing eyes. Super beautiful she is !!
She's so beautiful
I think all female orange tabbies are rare. I read somewhere that 80% of them are male and 20% are female. But she is very very cute, I love it✨
Because the mom has to be orange. If not, they come out calico or tortie or tortico 😸
Very pretty baby
She's undoubtedly a super model 😻✨💖 r/SuperModelCats

We had one vedy similar to her color her name was Peaches! She passed away last year at almost 19 years old! 🌷🌸
This brings me hope that I still have 9 more years. I’m so sorry for your loss. Peaches I’m sure was beautiful, what a wonderful name!
Awe thank you sweetheart!!! She was a wonderful cat!!! We miss her dearly. Your fur baby is so beautiful!
Her eyes are beautiful
what a pretty peach!
She has a high antenna.
But she's not 'mint, in box'! Once you you play with them, their value goes down! (except to you, of course!) 😂
Sophie is a fine wine, she gets better with age!
Gorgeous catto.
Such pretty green eyes!
Those eyes ❤️ Also love the tag haha!
Gorgeous ❤️ the way looks, like sees through 😍
She’s beautiful!
Love the tag!
She’s beautiful! And I love the collar. “Oh shit, im lost”. Priceless.
Beautiful girl!
Stunning pic
What an absolute doll baby. That perfectly proportionate tail l is the jimmies on the icing on the cake.
She’s stunning 😸
