Why is it genetically impossible for a cat to be orange without being a tabby?
The 'O' gene found in an orange tabby cat suppresses a gene called the 'aa' gene. This 'aa' gene decides if the tabby pattern will be blocked in a cat or not. Because this gene is suppressed in an orange cat there is always a tabby pattern. This means that there is no such thing as a solid orange cat and a cat with patterns in its fur is considered to be a tabby. Thus all orange cats are tabby cats.
