Pheomelanin is a pigment in the hair shaft reflects light in a red-orange-yellow range, which we then see as the orange colored fur in many of our pets. Through color dilution, the chemical can create a range of shades from rich burnt orange to pale yellow or cream It’s the same chemical found in dogs, rabbits and lots of other animals. Pheomelanin is also responsible for red hair in humans. And areas of the skin that are pink or red – for example, our lips. People may prefer their orange cats to be a really dark ginger or red in color rather than the paler yellow shades of orange. #8 It’s true!
