[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No. I have had cats my whole life and their sex or color has nothing to do with their temperament. Example: my tortie is a loving angel and my orange male is a dick who will bite randomly[/quote]
ha that's pretty funny!  But in aggregate, studies have shown that there is something to the color.  That the torties are on the whole less friendly, and the gold standard is the male orange tabby (I assume neutered).  Individual results will vary (for example, we have an Aussie who was given to us because she is too submissive to herd sheep.  She has zero herding skills and zero agression.  Terrible for a rancher but great for a housepet.)

I agree with a PP who said, get an adult and then there will be no guess as to personality.  Like our Aussie.[/quote]

DP. I also have a neutered orange male tabby who is a jerk and bites (I've had him since he was a kitten so he's not, like, a former street cat or anything). I just posted above but he's a bully whenever he thinks he can get away with it. He does love me, but no one else.[/quote]
