Orange Cat Names

What most of the general public would call an "orange" cat, true cat fanciers use the term "red" for the color.

There are also different kinds of orange (red) cats that can be found. A "red tabby" has orange stripes on a cream ground color. The orange stripes may be dark reddish orange, or light "marmalade" orange.

Interestingly enough there is not a "truly solid orange" cat because the tabby pattern is not totally suppressed in orange cats, so you might see indistinct "shadow" tabby markings if you search for them in the right light. Also, some people think that color orange is gender specific to males, but that is not true.

But which ever type of orange cat you have, you still need a name that fits your boy or girl kitty - right?! Well, as you read and view the list on this page, you will find more than 100 richly colorful pet names for orange cats. Whether your loving feline friend is a beautiful solid or a stunning multicolored, all the names found here are as full of personality and character as most orange cats are - Meow!

* Asterisk means that Orange Cat Name was sent in with a picture or neat story to go with it as listed here:
* Big Sam: Sam snuggles in his blanket. D.L. Johnson
* Huckleberry: I recently lost my huge solid orange tabby (20 pounds.) His name was Huckleberry. I had him one wonderful year. He was abandoned with a harness on. As he grew the harness tightened. He must have had a horrible ordeal with it on. When he came to me the harness was gone but he had scars all over. You could tell what had dug into his skin. He was SUCH A HAM! No one messed with him. He was the boss. I loved him very much. He suddenly developed FIP (Feline Infectious Peritonitis) and was gone within a week. I will never forget him. Becky
* l’Orange: I have a beautiful orange cat with long orange hair. His tail is mixed with a few white hairs and looks like a dreamsicle when it is standing tall. I named him l’Orange, which, of course, means the orange one in French. The name rolls off your tongue once you pronounce it properly. For a month the people at the vet’s office were calling him "Ell Orange" instead of "luh rawnj." Jack L. Cooper
