The Orange Tabby Scholar Is About to Write Something Big

With a quill poised and a calm, round face, the scholar is about to write something wonderful. An orange tabby cat with golden eyes and white whiskers gazes straight out, his striped forehead showing the classic tabby M. He wears a black velvet robe embroidered with gold leaves, with a cream collar and lace cuffs peeking from the sleeves. In one paw he holds a long brown feather quill. Behind him, pink drapery and golden scrollwork make a soft pastel backdrop.

The warm orange of his fur glows against the dark robe, and his expression is both thoughtful and relaxed. He looks like the sort of scholar who does his best work after a hearty breakfast.

Orange tabbies are often described as friendly, outgoing and food-loving, though every cat has his own personality. Most orange cats are male, because of how the orange color gene is carried. Cats like this often enjoy company and lots of play, and they can gain weight if meals are not measured, so ask your vet about portions and a healthy weight. Provide scratching posts, a sunny window and daily play. A quiet corner with a soft cushion is just the place for a cat who likes to think.

The first line of his great work is likely about warm sunbeams. The rest will follow after a nap.
