| Orangacats were discovered in the fields eating plants and flowers. An old story says that the reason Orangacats have a lightning-shaped tail is because a long time ago, an orangacat egg was electrocuted by an elecric eel as it was hatching. Whether that is true or not, the tails are the first thing to pop out of the egg early on, and the tails absorb sunlight for weeks, while the rest of the baby Orangacat is still growing inside the orange shell. That is thought to be the reason why Orangacat tails glow in the dark fainty. This has made them popular as pets that are also nightlights for young children. Baby Orangacats love swimming, but as they grow up they become land creatures, reaching 3.5 feet and height and 40 lbs.
As adults they still love beaches, and are fond of playing hide-and-seek in the sand, where it can be very difficult to see them, because they blend right in. They collect and hoard nuts and acorns, and are very protective about their treasures. However, if they are domesticated, they will share their finds with the child they befriend. They are not recommended as pets for homes with no children, as they are mischievous and untrusting with adults.
They love to eat anything orange or red in color: maple leaves in autumn, wild strawberries, cherry popsicles. They need to eat often and a lot, but if they find themselves without food, they can subsist for a short time on the sun energy stored in their tail.
One needs to be careful when petting them, because their fur gathers static. When they are angry, their hair stands up and shoots out tiny sparks. The sparks aren’t harmful in the long run, but can be quite painful in the moment.
