Well thank goodness they finally figured it out!
Not true about orange cats stupid.
My orange cat is very smart..........
Is this where we get redheads from? A gene mutation? Otoh my experience with orange cats is they are usually bad asses and rule the feral hood. Never bet against an orange cat in a fight.never.

Agree. I had an orange cat who was very smart. And he knew it.
He was full of mischief and such a delight.
Little more than I needed to know there.
The black cat portrayal is correct for at least one of my blackies but the orange as not to bright isn’t so. Surly, lazy, slow moving, lovable lugs is more like it but not dumb at all.
Mine is a Calico Tabby Orange and White. She guards my chickens and kills rats and mice for tuna..............
Tabby cats, of all colours, tend to be about the middle of the road. Not stupid, but not genius either.
Although, individual cats may vary in intelligence within their breed.
I find orange tabby cats to be the most people oriented cats.
BTTT
We adopted a stray orange cat several years ago. She was probably about 12 weeks old, has always been pretty aloof. Not affectionate at all. Still, you get attached. My adult son moved in with us, and one day brought home a black, gold and cream kitten. She has more energy than the energizer bunny. Goes flying through the house like she’s on fire. Affectionate, too. She was old enough that she went into heat about a month after he brought her home. Now we have to get her spayed, too. I wish our orange cat had her personality...
PLEASE: No Trump jests (i.e., “Orange Cat Bad”, etc.!).

My orange fatty thinks he’s still a kitten climbing the Christmas tree. It’s destroyed ugh. But gingers are characters that’s for sure. Love em.
Sweet. We got a tuxedo and an orange cat from the same shelter and they get along so great, thankfully.
That’s been my experience with them too. Very friendly and affectionate.
My third favourite cat was a Tuxedo cat. His name was Tucker. Unfortunately, my parents took in my nephews huge cat and he stressed my Tucker into going into liver failure. I was so upset that I made my nephew take it back.
My orange boy (more of a dusty orange) is the biggest cuddler in the world. We named him George Harrison because, like the Beatle, he’s so laid back. Best cat of the 3 we’ve had!!
I never heard that orange cats are stupid. But they are known to have feisty personalities. I have always specialized in tortie and whites, which are said to have "tortitude". They certainly are not docile. They are always getting into something. But they are super affectionate, too. And SMART.
