Orange cats are widely believed to be a bit derpy. It’s like the blonde hair jokes for cats.

Orange cats have one brain cell they have to share with other local orange cats. And usually when its turn to use it they are asleep.

Orange isnt even a cat race. Its a fur color.

Isn’t it also genetically that all orange cats are male?

Mischala , 9 months ago

Not all, but the majority.
The gene that’s responsible for fur color is on the X chromosome.

Isn’t that the same with humans and skin 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.

It’s closer to hair color for cats. Race would be more like the breed of the cat.

Cat racism is a major issue in today’s society

I, for one, suggest we nominate an orange cat as president to heal this divide in our country.

The last orange fucker in the Whitehouse did enough damage.

photonic_sorcerer , 9 months ago

That’s true. But it’s not like an actual pussy could do any worse.

There is definitely something funky with the orange fur gene and how it interacts with intelligence

keep in mind that this theory is NOT transferrable to humans

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.

Sounds like your orange was hogging the braincell.

My orange boy was also the smartest cat I’ve ever had. I do love the “one orange braincell” meme, but I’ve always heard the… idk, rumor? Wives tale?.. that orange cats were the best hunters, and that was true for my guy.

Is there a /c/oneorangebraincell yet?

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

Hadriscus , 9 months ago

I have four orange siblings. It’s like having a single cat brain controlling four cat bodies

hungryphrog , 9 months ago

The thruth is that all oranges share a single braincell and every orange kitty has to wait for their turn.

lolcatnip , 9 months ago

I think the joke is they all share one neuron.

Garfield messed it up for the orange cats.
