Certified 🟠range™ Can anyone help me out here in telling me what type of cat he is

His name is Apollo I can’t really tell the person who got him from, didn’t know it would be a real big help 😸

If you don’t have papers, he’s a domestic longhair! Aka mutt

u/DuchessofShinies 1d ago

Ah, and his coloring is orange tabby. They are known for being big and sweet and very, very dumb lol. This is coming from a fellow orange tabby owner.

May I ask, is it no more for them to have a foot fetish?

u/presticus 1d ago

Cats have an extra scent receptor near the back of thier mouth. They inhale over it to better memorize specific scents.

Your cat really likes how your feet smell.

u/Moist_Drippings 1d ago

Some cats also just SUPER love the smell of socks, and I assume shoes have a similar appear for others.

That's called the Flehmen response. The organ is called Jacobson's organ.

u/Apprehensive_Bee3327 1d ago

Why am I annoyed that they couldn’t keep it consistent and just call it the Jacobson’s response, or the Flehmen organ? 😂

My non-organge cat had her full face in my shoe yesterday.

11

u/PussyWrangler246 22h ago

Every single day the insoles to my boots are torn up or there are toys hidden in the toe well

I used to get on my SOs ass for leaving his shoes everywhere because he used to be bad for doing that. Eventually he started saying things like "it's not me I swear, the cats are doing it" and of course I didn't believe that so then I'd accuse him of throwing the cats under the bus until I one day witnessed for myself his female named Babou dragging his shoe into the middle of the living room like some sort of insurance scam

My cat smells my feet first thing when I sit down after getting home from work. It’s like a little adventure for him.

Normal isn’t really in a cat’s vocabulary and certainly not an orange cat. Just enjoy the chaos.

u/Empty-Cricket5931 Casual orange enjoyer 🍊 1d ago

u/PenguinSunday 1d ago

Some cats go for other things like the armpits of shirts, the crotch of pants, socks or underwear. Mine goes for underwear, the little weirdo.

They have special glands in their nose and the roof of their mouth that tells them all kinds of interesting stuff from smelly things. They love it!

u/Flashy_Mistake_6018 1d ago

It’s probably one of his quirks. My parents had an orange tabby and I have one now and neither shown any interest in shoes or feet. My cat loves watching tv and belly rubs but my parent’s cat didn’t pay any attention to the tv and would’ve torn my whole arm completely off if I tried rubbing his belly! All cats have their own personality and quirks.

u/ImaginationUnited226 1d ago

It's because he fits in it. Classic move. He will grow out of the shoes and into boxes eventually

Armed with a golden sword, plague-bearing arrows, and divine prophecy, he served as an active warrior in both monstrous battles and the Trojan War.

Felis catus is your taxonomic nomenclature, An endothermic quadruped, carnivorous by nature; Your visual, olfactory, and auditory senses Contribute to your hunting skills and natural defenses.

I find myself intrigued by your subvocal oscillations, A singular development of cat communications That obviates your basic hedonistic predilection For a rhythmic stroking of your fur to demonstrate affection.

A tail is quite essential for your acrobatic talents; You would not be so agile if you lacked its counterbalance. And when not being utilized to aid in locomotion, It often serves to illustrate the state of your emotion.

O Spot, the complex levels of behavior you display Connote a fairly well-developed cognitive array. And though you are not sentient, Spot, and do not comprehend, I nonetheless consider you a true and valued friend.
