Orangey, a male marmalade tabby cat, was an animal actor owned and trained by the well-known cinematic animal handler Frank Inn.

Orangey had a prolific career in film and television in the 1950s and early 1960s and was the only cat to win two Patsy Awards, the first for the title role in Rhubarb, a story about a cat who inherits a fortune, and the second for his portrayal of the cat, Audrey Hepburn's "poor slob without a name" in Breakfast at Tiffany's. He has also been credited as the cat in the 1959 film adaptation of The Diary of Anne Frank.

Orangey was called "the world's meanest cat" by one studio executive. He often scratched and bit actors. But he was prized for his ability to stay for several hours. After a scene he would often flee, and production would be shut until he could be found. Inn would sometimes post guard dogs at the studio entrance to keep him from running away.

Other appearances included a regular role as "Minerva" on the television series Our Miss Brooks.

The cat was also credited as "Jimmy" and "Rhubarb".
