Orangey starred in films and TV shows. I haven’t seen Rhurbarb but this tweet led me to find out more about the cat.

In RHUBARB (Arthur Lubin,1951), Orangey the cat gives what might be the most naturalistic performance ever given by a cat in a film. (The movie is about a cat that inherents a baseball team from an eccentric millionaire.)

The Hardest Working Cat in Showbiz is a film about Orangey. Here’s where to watch it. It was inspired by this column. Orangey is buried at Forest Lawn Memorial Park.
