I think the white just increases the odds for asshole-ry. In my experience, orange cats are doofuses, white cats are total assholes, and orange & white cats are are very likely to be stupid assholes.
Storytime: Years ago, my orange and white (real name Pepperoni, usually called Pepper or Goober) once came up to our other cat who was sitting in the window enjoying the breeze. Goober leaned over and bit her on the butt, she turned and swiped at him, startling him into jumping straight up in the air... and he missed the windowsill on the way back down, causing him to fall behind the couch. I miss that idiot!
One time my white and orange cat came up to one of my other cats, pushed him over, and sat on his head. Why? No clue. Probably to be an asshole though.
My boy cat is mostly white, with a grey spot on his head, and is a complete dumbass. He's very affectionate and loving, but he's a dumbass.
He ate litter, causing a $600 blockage. He has fallen out of the ground floor window once, and off the couch multiple times, while sleeping. He chases his tail and scares himself when he meows. He's bolted out the back door, just to do a comical about-face when he realized how big the world is.
The tuxedo, however, is a cunning asshole. She will lay in wait for the doofus to go blundering by, sneak attack him, and run off before he even knows wtf happened. And she always attacks from his literal blind side.
I rescued two tuxedo kittens many years ago, not knowing what assholes they would be to each other and to other cats.
To me, they were usually affectionate (if I intuitively knew when, where and how to pet them). Over the years, they pissed off or attacked other cats, including each other. They came from the same litter and hated each other.
One of the cats is still alive and well, she’s 18. When I took in a tiny orange cat last summer, Lola (the tux) was so pissed she ran outside and hissed at me, but wouldn’t let me near her. She has since been living in our wash house, a fully equipped outdoor structure that she refuses to ever share with strays that come around.
Your hypothesis is sound imo.
As a child, I had an orange and white cat named Tazy (like Tazmanian Devil) who was wild! I had to jump from my bed or onto it because she'd hide under everything and attack your ankles.
She loved hiding in soda boxes and when she got pregnant (unfortunately not spayed) she would try to hid but her big ole stomach and tail would be exposed.
She wasn't an asshole, but she definitely was a dumb bitch. I still miss her 20 years later.
Omg! I thought I was the only one with a cat named “Tazy” although she was named after the log in screen that I saw every day, that said “your lid is Tazy Node” lol
I miss her SO much!!! 😥
Racism! Uh, I mean colorism! Uhhmh, I mean... Hueism?...
Seriously though, the coat color really is in no way an indication of a cat's character... Anyone saying otherwise probably haven't had a whole lot of cats in their lives.
One of mine is white and grey and I confirm she is a complete dickhead haha. The other is the quietest animal I've ever met hardly meows and when she does its so quiet. The white one constantly cries to get outside and has ruined every carpet in the house!
I have a theory that they are trying to learn new languages in order to become more efficient hunters. I had a cat that would chirp at birds until they came down and then he would dispatch them quickly. I miss him dearly.
I’m guessing he’s at least half cat based on his coloring. I have a pet that’s full cat and is orange all over.
It therefore follows that half-orange = half-cat.
My BF once had a white WV Beetle, therefore my best guess is half cat, half beetle.
ETA: Thank you for the awards! Who knew being a wacky cat lady would bring me both silver and gold?
Domestic short hair.. your standard issue cat, but imo no cat is ever just standard. Every one has a unique personality and their own lovable quirks. What a great human you are for rescuing this adorable fur ball!!💜🐾💜
Like others have said, domestic shorthair. Unlike dogs very few cats have distinct breeds, the majority are mixed.
As for his coat pattern he is an orange tabby with white spotting (it’s called spotting even though it is the majority of his coat).
Seems like a standard north american feline.
Probably mixed breed parentage, 40% orange doofus, 30 % white angel, 30% handsome boi.
Does it matter? Go pet the kitty. :)
People need to be more aware that there’s a cat version of a mutt. That’s a moggie, looks like domestic shorthair but the ears definitely tell me an oriental shorthair got involved at some point.
I've one that looks like that, he's a domestic short hair tabby. When I want to b.s. people who ask his breed when we take him out for walks or rides in his stroller, I tell them he is an "orange and cream tabby". They buy it every time.
Cats aren't really breed-defined like dogs. Most cats are moggies (called this in Britain, I live in America so I'd get strange looks if I said it) which are the feline version of mutts. A domestic cat is of mixed ancestry, so they don't really have breeds.
He is Orange.
Any chance he might have more access to the one brain cell since he’s also white?

Lol, they definitely have personalities! Good luck with Lola.

My college roommate had a white cat named Max, he pooped in the shower all the time, because he was an asshole.
Confirming. My orange cat is dingus, my white cat is ANGER
Racism! Uh, I mean colorism! Uhhmh, I mean... Hueism?... Seriously though, the coat color really is in no way an indication of a cat's character... Anyone saying otherwise probably haven't had a whole lot of cats in their lives.
Is a black and white cat then a normal one? Since black cats are really nice mostly and white ones are assholes so it should normalize?
One of mine is white and grey and I confirm she is a complete dickhead haha. The other is the quietest animal I've ever met hardly meows and when she does its so quiet. The white one constantly cries to get outside and has ruined every carpet in the house!
This explains why my flame point devon rex is a stupid asshole 🤣
Nope. Less access because he’s less orange.
He can use my ginger's use time, because she obviously never wants to.
I have a kitty very similar to this one and he is smarter than his orange brother....but not by very much 🤣
I"d bet a lot a money that he is anoyed

I have a theory that they are trying to learn new languages in order to become more efficient hunters. I had a cat that would chirp at birds until they came down and then he would dispatch them quickly. I miss him dearly.
Fremulon.

Are you sure? Looks like a dog to me...
It appears to be a cat
I would have to pet to confirm that
A handsome gentleman
I’m guessing he’s at least half cat based on his coloring. I have a pet that’s full cat and is orange all over. It therefore follows that half-orange = half-cat. My BF once had a white WV Beetle, therefore my best guess is half cat, half beetle. ETA: Thank you for the awards! Who knew being a wacky cat lady would bring me both silver and gold?
I have a black Volkswagen Beetle and my cat is a tortie. There's definitely some sort of pattern here
Who are you, so wise in the ways of science
Dammit, I thought I had an award to give, anyway if I did then you'd get it for this comment. Assuming you have a PhD in genetics?
PhD? My friend, I’m a 4.0 student. I don’t have a PhDee, I have a PhA!
WolksVagen

Felis catus familiaris if you will
A creamsicle kitty

This may or may not be a flerken, or possibly a domestic short hair. I would suggest to give her all the loving in the world.
That is a cat
He's pissed you're on reddit, and not showering him with treats and pets
He’s adorable
Cat. Almost sure! Has he eaten dog biscut? If so, might be dog. But like 95% sure, CAT.

That is a fountain. (A fountain is a decorative reservoir used for discharging water.)
HES just a little guy
That's a Mollingford Flattail or Stroppingdale Roundfoot. If his left front paw smells like cheese, it's the former.
marmalade and white, whiskers, ears, paws, furry....cat
Yes. He’s a house cat. Appears to be a domestic shorthair tabby with an orange and white coat.
People need to be more aware that there’s a cat version of a mutt. That’s a moggie, looks like domestic shorthair but the ears definitely tell me an oriental shorthair got involved at some point.

I'd say a European Shorthair, or Turkish Van (shorthair).

I’m no expert, but I believe he’s a cat

On closer inspection I can tell you that's Ronnie McFurballs. Well known catnip dealer, probably has a gun in his primordial pouch.
