As a dog owner, what's wrong with orange cats? I get the sense that theyre little maniacs?
They all share one orange brain cell.
It’s not even sharing, they take turns with it at random
It’s not at random, it’s a token ring network.
A singular brain cell seeming sourced from a hamster. But cats are more durable than hampsters.
I hear this all the time, but I have an orange cat who taught himself how to open doors, so... I dunno, maybe mine is hoarding all the brain cells for himself.
Oh he got the good brain cell. Oooor stole one from the dog. Every orange cat I've ever known has had the thinking capacity of a warm rock and about as destructive when tossing themselves around.
Heard this before, are orange cats really different or just a meme.
They tend to have a lot of personality, to put it mildly. Overestimating their natural grace and finding themselves in situations they aren't equipped to get out of. Like our old ginger boy who would crawl on the roof for naps and then yowl until some came to rescue him cause he didn't understand how to jump down. Or chewing a hole in the back of the couch and getting his fat ass stuck trying to crawl inside it.
On the contrary, they are usually very chill. Wonderful creatures. As the other person said, though...there is just the one braincell between them, so try not to let them reproduce too much.
Imagine a feline version of Kevin mixed with a Husky & golden retriever who is powered by chaos.
Same, even though she's usually the food thief off chance we left something out.
