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.
