    In my experience that’s calicos. I’ve had plenty of orange bois and they’ve all been sweet morons. The calicos are always plotting something. I had one teach an ex’s cat to pee in the corner so he’d get punished.

    Have a new orange. Can attest it’s true. But only part of the time, he’s a sweet boy sometimes too. Dear lord there’s no brains involved, I don’t know where the one cell idea comes from. Zero.

    I have both and can confirm. My favorite is when the orange one is chasing the black one and he smashes his face into a wall when the black one jumps up into the window.

    I have a Voidie and a Ginger, and can confirm that at 3:30 am, my cats BOTH manically tap dance with the devil until miraculously, the Holy Back Door opens and the Devils Dancing Plague is banished for yet another day. Amen.

    I read somewhere that a cat’s coat color and pattern has nothing to do with their behavior, and all sentiment to the contrary (like this post) is due to cognitive bias.

      I don’t know if you know this, but the cat community makes up a lot of shit about cats because cats have one personality in general: cat.

      I don’t know, we had a siamese and that lil’ guy was a chatterbox; when he came back from outside he had to tell us everything. And he always answered when you talked to him. Could have whole conversations with that cat. All the others (none of them siamese) have either been pretty silent, or they’ve only used meows to tell us they wanted something.

      We’ve also had a couple persians (well, a probably genuine persian, white, and something that looked and behaved 100% like a black persian but was the daughter of what looked like a russian blue — or several russian blues stuck one inside the other; she’s old, fragile, and thin now, but that cat used to be thick, and solid like a brick — who we adopted from the street, and an unknown father); both of them behaved pretty much identically (and the latter much different from her mother, who was a force of nature): delicate, demure, always posing as if you were to take a picture. And both got sick and died quite younger than usual for cats.

      I don’t know any stereotypes for russian blues so I can’t say if that one (supposing it even is one) fits them or not, though, and all the other cats we’ve had have been, well, regular off-brand cats, and mostly had standard generic cat behaviour (well, one was a gray tabby, also quite solid, who used to hunt rabbits, but she was mostly an outside cat).
