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

[-] Rakonat@lemmy.world 46 points 11 months ago

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.

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

[-] SolarNialamide@lemm.ee 23 points 11 months ago

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.

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.

Sounds like your orange was hogging the braincell.

[-] darcy@sh.itjust.works 8 points 11 months ago

keep in mind that this theory is NOT transferrable to humans

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@lemm.ee 26 points 11 months ago

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

[-] hungryphrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 11 months ago

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

[-] lolcatnip@reddthat.com 4 points 11 months ago

I think the joke is they all share one neuron.

Your sentence contains four food/drink items

Is there a /c/oneorangebraincell yet?

[-] AlligatorBlizzard@sh.itjust.works 31 points 11 months ago

!oneorangebraincell@lemmy.world

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

[-] RQG@lemmy.world 21 points 11 months ago

Isn't that the same with humans and skin color?

[-] EmptySlime@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 11 months ago

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

[-] hh93@lemm.ee 3 points 11 months ago

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

[-] Mischala@lemmy.nz 10 points 11 months ago

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

[-] Patimation_studios@sh.itjust.works 19 points 11 months ago

Cat racism is a major issue in today’s society

[-] photonic_sorcerer@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 11 months ago

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

[-] TopShelfVanilla@sh.itjust.works 7 points 11 months ago

The last orange fucker in the Whitehouse did enough damage.

[-] photonic_sorcerer@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 11 months ago

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

[-] Sanctus@lemmy.world 17 points 11 months ago

The void in the oranges head: Climb the swing set right now.

[-] jimmydoreisalefty@lemmus.org 16 points 11 months ago

Garfield messed it up for the orange cats.
