My brother thinks only blues rule.
Well we orange cats are special!
Here are my facts that I know;
80% of tabbies are male.
Tabbies get those cute black freckles on their noses.
The gene for red is carried on the X chromosome. Males have one X chromosome, while females have two. A male needs only one red gene to be an orange tabby. A female must inherit two red genes, one for each of her two X chromosomes.
Tabbies come in four distinct patterns: Mackerel, which includes the tiger tabby, Classic, a blotchy pattern with a bull's eye on the side, Ticked, a flecked or freckled look, and Spotted, in which ticked fur alternates with solid spots.
The word "tabby" derives from a striped silk cloth made in Attabiyah, a neighborhood of Baghdad.
Now about Being orange and being me.
I am a Chef.
I am a lover, not a fighter. TILL pushed that is.
I love my Mamma.
I love my Lady, Taffy..Kisses to you my sweet!
I love the sunshine on my fur.
I love my brother Loki.
I love my orange mousies.
I love all of my friends here on Catster and Dogster!
I will NEVER forget my friends who have moved on to the next life.
I love you and will hold you close in my wee heart forever!
I am glad Miz Rose has two more boy cats to focus on.
(sorry Nuk and Tigger, but you should live with her)
I am glad we can help the kitties in shelters and glad we care for the ferals out here.
I am happy the sun is shining today and I am going to be the first cat to get to the window seat to sleep.
I am glad..
Hey!
Loki! That is MY window seat and My Sunshine!
Dont make me swat you on your Royal Blue head!
Gotta run!

I am just in shock here.
My wee paws are shaking.
See, I was in the cat tree, minding my own business, grooming my southend.
My Lady sat on the couch next to me.
And yes, you guessed correct.
IT, Rose did that unsettling Ninja jump and hanging on the side of the cat tree and proceeded to slap me with that lightning fast dirty white paw of hers.
I looked up from my southerly cleaning, and can you believe this?
She pulled her nasty ginger self up and bit my no more man parts.
If I had those no more man parts, well, I would not have had them anymore!
As it was, she encroached on PRIVATE PROPERTY, NO TRESSPASSING, KEEP OUT!
Then to add insult to injury, the nasty thing, bit my wee toes.
It happened so fast too!
My Lady saw it all, but like all humans, just could not comprehend what was going on.
Then IT dropped from site.
I then let out a meow and jumped on My Lady.
She held me and said, ' she bit your, um, your, yeah there, Chef. How awful. And your poor toes too. Miz Rose! Do Not come back in here.'
'Awful' I meow.. 'When are you getting your eyes checked again?'
'Shush now Chef, she is gone.'
I lay on My Lady for a few minutes.
Then IT crept up to the couch, jumped up on the foot rest and rolled on her back and started chirping those oh so cute little chirps humans find so irristable.
My Lady said.' Look Chef, Rose wants to make up. Hear her sweet little chirps?'
I see where this is heading. I leap off of My lady and head for the bed and under I go.
And yes, Loki was there.
He opened one eye, yawned and asked ' First watch brother?'
I sigh. ' Sure..why not.'
We both hear that raspy little laugh.
Then the singing....
We both gag...How many songs about bugs can she sing?

My beautiful lady love Taffy purred her tag and now it is my turn..
1. Do you have a Valentine?... If so... who?
My heart belongs forever to Taffy, the light of my life.
2. If not... do you wish you did? ... Is there anyone particular?... Or would you rather be single? ...Why?
3.What's your favorite Love Song?... Who sings it?
A song from Cats, the musical..purrhaps not a love song, but one that defines us as cats, in all things we do...
The moments of happiness . . .
We had the experience but missed the meaning
And approach to the meaning restores the experience
In a different form, beyond any meaning
We can assign to happiness . . .
The past experience revived in the meaning
Is not the experience of one life only
But of many generations - not forgetting
Something that is probably quite ineffable
Moonlight, turn your face to the moonlight
Let your memory lead you
Open up, enter in
If you find there the meaning of what happiness is
Then a new life will begin
4.What would be a Perfect Valentines Day for you?
To sweep my beautiful Taffy off her wee paws and go to Venice and float in the gondolas, eating shrimp and cuddling in the moonlight....
If you read this and want to play Tag, then do so. Life is too short to sit back and watch. Purrticipation is Chefs orders for the day!
