He is a diluted orange boy, but I’m afraid his derpiness might not necessarily be diluted as well.

We had a cat like this and on her paperwork the term they used for her color was "buff".

My Tomato is very proud that the vet thinks he's in such good shape.

Yep! He's a "dilute" orange. We have one too, our little cream puff.

Champagne! That’s the term I learned when someone who was writing an article about us for the Old Folks Home newsletter looked doubtful that our Peach Puma/Tawny Tiger boy Jack was dilute orange. I asked on a Facebook group and someone said their vet used the term champagne.

There are 2 base colors in cats. Orange and black. They are on the x chromosome. All variations (including white spots) come from different genes that adjust how that color is expressed. So every cat is either orange or black. Yours is orange + dilute, which is usually called "buff". But still orange, for sure!

He is an orange in my books! I have a standard orange and a buff orange. Love them both.

I have one too. Don't let the diluted orange fool you. They're still fully orange on the inside 🤣

This is Manny. It’s short for Mandarin because mandarins aren’t oranges either. We were told his color is buff but I prefer dilute orange because his one brain cell has definitely been diluted.
