It might be the Said The Cat series? The protagonist is a redheaded teen with an orange cat. I read Poison Said The Cat, which is about someone poisoning people as revenge for her daughter drowning on the swim team years ago.

Yes that's it! Thank you so much I'd been looking for it for ages!
The main character was a girl between 12 and 14 years old with red hair, she had a red cat and went around on a bicycle, and later on there's a boy who she's friends with. It was a collection of short stories centred around various crimes the main character solved; the first story was about a robbery in a neighbour's house where she was babysitting, she protected the baby and later caught the thief. Another story involved a fake chinese vase or something like that in a museum, where she was interviewing the director for a school project, who turned out to be a fraud (she was called Miss Jensen?). I can't remember the other stories in detail but there was something about a videocassette containing a secret clue that she managed to steal from the baddies, and an old lady she befriends who helps her out. There was also a story about a swimmingpool and a drowned girl.
