Fluffy Orange Cat Struts Pirate Peg Leg After Cardboard Towel Roll Playtime Fun
Ahoy maties! Meet Pudding, an adorable fluffy orange cat who found himself with a pirate-like peg leg after a mishap during playtime. The cat, whose mom gave empty toilet paper rolls to play with, was cracking up when she found Pudding unsure how to get out of the conundrum, and Pudding's reaction to being stuck is making the rest of us laugh, too!
The video starts with Pudding already wearing the peg leg. He wants to walk over to mom but is unsure how to do it. Watch on as mom talks to him - I think it's safe to say that Pudding is a bit embarrassed about the situation he ended up in (literally!)
This was just too cute! Pudding's reaction to his new leg was adorable. He was completely unsure what to do next! Viewers also got a kick out of the video. @meldot25 had the perfect new name, "Peg Leg Pudding!" @cialater246 pointed out, "How he pushes it away after he gets it off! That's LOL!" @lorancarioni added, "Very proud of himself - as he should be!"Pudding is a gorgeous cat with all that fluffy fur and such a sweet demeanor! Orange cats are known for having attitudes, but can't that be said about all cats? We all refer to orange cats simply as "orange cats," but they are not their own breed - most of them are orange tabby cats. However, orange tabby cats are also not a breed; when people refer to them, they refer to the cats' striped coats, one of the most common coat patterns around. Breeds that have orange cats include including domestic shorthairs, Maine Coons, Persians, and Scottish Fold.
shared a fact about orange cats that I was surprised by - most orange cats are male. The reason why has to do with the 'Ginger Gene', 'The captivating orange fur of these cats is due to a gene called 'O' (for orange), which is located on the X chromosome. This gene determines the production of orange pigment, called pheomelanin, in the fur. Interestingly, male cats only need one copy of the 'O' gene to display an orange coat, while females must have two copies. This unique genetic arrangement results in the majority of orange cats being male.' Only about 1 in 5 orange cats is female!
Most orange cats have some similar traits including an M-shaped marking on the forehead, eyes lined with either white or black lines, a paler orange color on their chins and bellies, banding on their legs and tails, and thin pencil-like lines on the face.
Sadly, my husband and daughter are allergic to cats so we can't have one. But if I could bring one home, I'd definitely want it to be an orange cat!
