Orange cats are widely believed to be a bit derpy. It’s like the blonde hair jokes for cats.
There is definitely something funky with the orange fur gene and how it interacts with intelligence
I think it’s just confirmation bias that stems from the meme. I’ve had four cats in my life: an orange tabby tomcat, a black tomcat, a white and orange girl and a grey tabby girl. The orange tabby tomcat was the smartest by a mile out of all of them and the grey tabby girl was the dumbest by a 100 miles. Orange and white girl is the second dumbest and the black tomcat second smartest.
But people aren’t gonna post their average or smart orange cats or their dumb non-orange cats on the internet because it doesn’t fit into a specific meme/sub/community. So now it seems like there’s heavy correlation, but there really isn’t.
Oranges honestly don’t have a braincell, though I think my Toffee (looks similar to the top of a cup of coffee) takes the cake
I have four orange siblings. It’s like having a single cat brain controlling four cat bodies
Is there a /c/oneorangebraincell yet?
Orange isnt even a cat race. Its a fur color.
Not exactly, especially not in places where slaves were treated like livestock and quite literally bred for certain attributes (size and strength).
Dark, and not exactly something one likes to think possible, but it did happen. The genetic crucible that was slavery had a lasting impact on the genes of their descendants.
Edit: Imagine being downvoted for talking about history. Idiots.
