If in fact there are two or more cats who are orange. It it not false to say "Cats are orange."

It may not be false, but if I tell my 3 year old granddaughter that, she will surely be seriously misled, if she accepts my statement at face value. And if she is looking at a gray cat at the time, she may wonder whether grampa has lost his marbles.

In addition, the statement certainly fails the test of "the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth".
