Red-Orange Maine Coon Cat

The Maine Coon Red Cat is one of the most beautiful colors of all. It comes in shades like Red Tabby, Red Silver Tabby, and even Red with White. Some people call it an Orange Maine Coon cat because it looks more orange or ginger than red, but its official name is still Red Tabby.

The Maine Coon Red Cat can also be a solid red color without any tabby markings. If it’s very light, it’s called Cream. And if it has a white undercoat you can see when you touch its fur, it’s called Red Smoke. Most Red Tabby Maine Coon cats have golden or copper eyes, and their nose and paw pads are pink or red to match their coat.

Did you know that most Red cats are boys? That’s because the gene that decides the color is connected to the X chromosome, which makes girls. So, girls have two Xs, which means they can have different colors and genes that mix to create their beautiful color!”

Genetic History of Maine Coon Red Cat

Do you know how cats get their colors? A boy cat has a special Y chromosome that doesn’t affect his color. But he also has an X chromosome, and if that X is red, he becomes a beautiful Red Maine Coon. A girl cat needs to get red genes from her mom and dad, which is a little harder. If a cat is mostly red but has white paws, belly, or face, we add “with White” to her official color name. The Classic Red Tabby Maine Coon is extra special – it has a red base color with darker red stripes, and its nose leather is a deep brick red. This is the kind of Red Maine Coon that makes you go “Wow!” All Maine Coon cats are gorgeous, and it’s like we wish we could have one of each color.
