The Secret of Ginger Cats – Here’s What Scientists Discovered

If you’ve ever noticed that most ginger cats are male, you’re not alone — and now science has an answer. A new study led by Professor Hiroyuki Sasaki at Kyushu University, in collaboration with Stanford University has revealed the genetic reason why orange cats are overwhelmingly male.

It comes down to a mutation in the gene ARHGAP36, located on the X chromosome. Since male cats only have one X, the mutation expresses more easily, leading to those iconic orange coats. The study was crowdfunded by cat lovers and may even open up new research into how fur color links to personality and health in pets.
