Orange cats are just built different, but they're also not all created equal. While they're all entertaining... Some of them are just downright majestic. Fluffier cats of this variety look like the cutest little cheeseballs you'll ever see in your life!

Recently, one "cheddar bear" colored British Longhair checked every box. She's beautiful, she has big eyes, and most importantly, she's as orange as could be. That's pretty rare for a female! You just have to see her:

Clementine the British Longhair is so cute. She's living in a cattery that specializes in British Long and Shorthair cats, and apparently, she's a mama there! She's had a litter, and they must be some of the best kittens in the whole place! According to the cattery, she's:

  • Chill.
  • Caring and affectionate.
  • Easy to please.

Two of those three things are exceedingly hard to come by in an orange cat, as anyone who's ever had one would know. These cats are notorious for being very affectionate, but having absolutely no chill whatsoever!

The cats in this cattery are, for the most part, no exception. They're all a little wild, too, including Clementine's kittens. Those sweet babies would do anything for some love, which is part of the Orange Cat Philosophy:

That kitten is the spitting image of his mama! I'll take 14 of them right now, please. His eyes are basically bigger than his head!

What Are British Longhair Cats Like?

If this video also made you want a British Longhair more than you've wanted anything in a long time, I'm right there with you. How precious! If I'm going to get one, I want one just like Clementine.

British Longhairs are the perfect middle ground for someone who's looking for a cat they'd like to be able to go on low-impact adventures with, but also one that won't mind a good nap. These cats are well-known for being:

  • Very cute.
  • Clean.
  • Highly trainable.
  • Open-minded.
  • Independent

They don't only come in this lovely cheddar-bear orange, either. You can find them in all sorts of different colors, both from breeders and often in shelters. Before you settle on one, make sure you explore all of your options!
