The lost link in a gene called ARHGAP36 makes it so that the cells in orange felines produce lighter colors for their skin, eyes, and fur tone. In ginger cats’ melanocytes, the cells responsible ...

Orange cats have a unique genetic mutation that gives them their special coats — and this mutation also explains why so many of them are male, two new studies find. Many animals have orange hair ...

While the orange fur colour can be seen across mammals, including tigers, golden retrievers, orangutans and red-headed humans, only in domestic cats is the colouration linked to sex, appearing ...

About 80% of orange cats are males, including the four orange cats owned by the Short Wave team: Zuko, Benny, Tang and Dorito. Scientists have long suspected that their orange color was a sex ...

Scientists have finally narrowed down on a long theorised elusive genetic mutation that makes orange cats so unique, unlike any other mammal. While the orange fur colour can be seen across mammals ...

Orange cats may be known for their silly behavior, but two new studies are a step closer to understanding "the why" behind the furry felines' coloring. Two independent studies published on May 15 ...

cats with orange fur are both cultural icons and beloved pets. But their distinctive color comes with a genetic twist—most orange tabbies are male, while calicos and tortoiseshells are nearly ...

But one cat fur hue has stumped scientists for decades: orange. In house cats, orangeness appears to be sex-linked; it almost always occurs in males because of a mutation on the sex-determining X ...

The results were published in Current Biology. Orange fur in domestic cats shows a strong link to sex, with most orange cats being male. This pattern has been noticed since the early 1900s, informing ...

A content creator made orange-shaped pastries that resemble real fruit. She makes the dessert from scratch and even decorates it with leaves. So far, the video has garnered millions of views. Baking ...
