seriously. where are all these masses coming from who think a cat's coloring affects their personality? what the fuck?
even though we're also super racist, this at least is not a thing here. it's never been a thing.
what the fuck.

yeah, and iirc red cats are mostly males, but the rest is just designer breeds of cats stuff, which is just weird as hell to me. why breed cats? they're perfect as they are. normal local shorthair cats are all the same on average. which means they come in the same range of personalities of course, i'm not claiming they're literally all the same.
I’m not saying you’re claiming they’re all the same. I just don’t understand the discourse around animal temperament and human racism when humans have practiced eugenics on animals for status or tasks and fucked up their genetics for eons now
because there's never been any real intentional breeding done on default cats. if we've fucked up their genetics, it wasnt because we bred them, but because we killed very aggressive ones and kept the cute kittens. much of the evolution of cats among humans was done not as pets but as barn cats (or similar roles), where they are a half-tame half-wild animal that fucks whoever it wants.
cat coat color clearly has nothing to do with anything. the wild cats from which domestic cats come from are all basically tabbies, and it's not like anyone set out to breed cow-spotted black and white cats. all these coats coexist in feral/rural (the line can be hard to draw, with barn cats and such) cat populations and it's just random variance.
