I would suspect your cat has severe gingivitis, possibly due to auto-immune disease or severe infection in the mouth. You should take your cat to a veterinarian for an oral examination; I suspect your veterinarian may recommend a dental cleaning and complete oral examination under general anesthesia, at which point all of the cat's teeth may need to be removed.
The good news is, if the problem is simply infection, removing the affected teeth and cleaning the remaining teeth should get it under control pretty quick. Even if your cat has all his teeth pulled, he/she can still lead a normal life so long as you feed wet cat food.
There is a small chance the problem is cancer of the mouth, which changes the prognosis significantly; unfortunately, most cats don't like having their mouths held open for a good look inside, so your veterinarian may not be able to rule this out until he/she gets your cat under general anesthesia.

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.
