I actually have one of the rarest cats because I have a full orange female. Only about 20% of orange cats are female, so a female orange is considered a very rare thing.

As far as the rumors about behavior? I've had many other cats. I'm telling you my orange has shown me they have a few issues with sharing the one brain cell rumored to be shared by all oranges. lol

Having an orange beard I fear this may be true .

I would think that light colored animals in general would be easy to spot among predictors and thus not live long enough to reproduce.

They would stick out. When I used to catch rabbits over here though, I went right out west where the soil is a red color and most of the rabbits had a sandy ginger color that blended in. I'd imagine cats might be the same in desert areas.

LOL! Now, I know this does NOT apply to humans! I know a few of you red and orange bearded gentlemen!

Cats are just wonderful creatures. They all have unique personalities which is why they are unpredictable and fun. I have had cats of all colors and have loved them all.
