Since any red color is epistatic all orange cats are tabbies and solid red show cats are usually a low contrast ticked tabby. According to the BBCs Focus Magazine the ginger gene in cats works a little differently compared to humans. The gene that codes for orange fur is on the X chromosome.

Since females have two Xs and males have one X and one Y this means that a female orange cat must inherit two orange genes one from each parent whereas a male only needs one which he gets from his mother. The gene that causes this type of orange coloration of the coat is only found on the X chromosome the female. Well thats not entirely true.

Because a tabbys color depends upon a sex-linked gene an orange female must inherit two orange genes one from each parent whereas a male red cat only needs one. The gene in the orange cats has the denomination of O orange. Why Orange Cats Are Usually Male.

Females can be orange tabby calico or tortoiseshell. But as we know ginger tabbies are predominantly male. The color of a cats coat is closely linked to its gender.
