I hear this sentiment often, but it doesn't match my own experience with orange cats... the one I had back in high school (orange male) was at least as intelligent as any other cat I've had. The orange female I have now is very clingy / anxious and far more territorial than any of my other cats, but otherwise demonstrates at least average cat intelligence. I'd had a variety of different types of cats - a japanese bobtail, a balinese, a siamese, various calicos and domestic types - and the orange ones have been on the upper end of intelligence by comparison.
- fullstop 2y agoMy orange boy is not smart. He lets me know when he's hungry by walking over to a house plant and pats at the leaves. Other than that, he's a dumb and lovable guy. The smartest one that we've had is a Cyprus (looking) cat. She's incredibly athletic, has fantastic spatial awareness, and is a murder-machine if given the opportunity.
